2 Corinthians 9:10-15
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!

English Standard Version

10 He who supplies (A)seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and (B)increase the harvest of your righteousness. 11 (C)You will be enriched in every way to be generous in every way, which (D)through us will produce thanksgiving to God. 12 For the ministry of this service is not only supplying (E)the needs of the saints but is also overflowing in many thanksgivings to God. 13 By their approval of this service, (F)they[a] will glorify God because of your submission that comes from your (G)confession of the gospel of Christ, and the generosity of your contribution for them and for all others, 14 while they long for you and pray for you, because of the surpassing grace of God upon you. 15 (H)Thanks be to God for his inexpressible gift!
