2 Corinthians 9:10-15
Legacy Standard Bible
10 Now He who supplies (A)seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed and (B)increase the harvest of your righteousness; 11 you will be (C)enriched in everything for all generosity, which through us is bringing about (D)thanksgiving to God. 12 For the ministry of this service is not only fully supplying (E)the needs of the [a]saints, but is also abounding (F)through many thanksgivings to God. 13 Because of the proven character given by this (G)ministry, they will (H)glorify God for your obedience to your (I)confession of the (J)gospel of Christ and for the [b]generosity of your [c]fellowship toward them and toward all, 14 while they also, by prayer on your behalf, long for you because of the surpassing grace of God on you. 15 [d](K)Thanks be to God for His indescribable (L)gift!

New Living Translation
10 For God is the one who provides seed for the farmer and then bread to eat. In the same way, he will provide and increase your resources and then produce a great harvest of generosity[a] in you.
11 Yes, you will be enriched in every way so that you can always be generous. And when we take your gifts to those who need them, they will thank God. 12 So two good things will result from this ministry of giving—the needs of the believers in Jerusalem[b] will be met, and they will joyfully express their thanks to God.
13 As a result of your ministry, they will give glory to God. For your generosity to them and to all believers will prove that you are obedient to the Good News of Christ. 14 And they will pray for you with deep affection because of the overflowing grace God has given to you. 15 Thank God for this gift[c] too wonderful for words!
