2 Corinthians 9:10-15
New English Translation

10 Now God[a] who provides seed for the sower and bread for food will provide and multiply your supply of seed and will cause the harvest of your righteousness to grow. 11 You will be enriched in every way so that you may be generous on every occasion,[b] which is producing through us thanksgiving to God, 12 because the service of this ministry is not only providing for[c] the needs of the saints but is also overflowing with many thanks to God. 13 Through the evidence[d] of this service[e] they will glorify God because of your obedience to your confession in the gospel of Christ and the generosity of your sharing[f] with them and with everyone. 14 And in their prayers on your behalf, they long for you because of the extraordinary grace God has shown to you.[g] 15 Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift![h]

2 Corinthians 9:10-15
World English Bible

10 Now may he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food, supply and multiply your seed for sowing, and increase the fruits of your righteousness, 11 you being enriched in everything to all generosity, which produces thanksgiving to God through us. 12 For this service of giving that you perform not only makes up for lack among the saints, but abounds also through much giving of thanks to God, 13 seeing that through the proof given by this service, they glorify God for the obedience of your confession to the Good News of Christ and for the generosity of your contribution to them and to all, 14 while they themselves also, with supplication on your behalf, yearn for you by reason of the exceeding grace of God in you. 15 Now thanks be to God for his unspeakable gift!
