2 Corinthians 9:9-13
New Living Translation
9 As the Scriptures say,
“They share freely and give generously to the poor.
Their good deeds will be remembered forever.”[a]
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[b] 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[c] 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.

9 As it is written:
10 Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food(C) will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness.(D) 11 You will be enriched(E) in every way so that you can be generous(F) on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God.(G)
12 This service that you perform is not only supplying the needs(H) of the Lord’s people but is also overflowing in many expressions of thanks to God.(I) 13 Because of the service(J) by which you have proved yourselves, others will praise God(K) for the obedience that accompanies your confession(L) of the gospel of Christ,(M) and for your generosity(N) in sharing with them and with everyone else.

1 Corinthians 9:11-15
New Living Translation
11 Since we have planted spiritual seed among you, aren’t we entitled to a harvest of physical food and drink? 12 If you support others who preach to you, shouldn’t we have an even greater right to be supported? But we have never used this right. We would rather put up with anything than be an obstacle to the Good News about Christ.
13 Don’t you realize that those who work in the temple get their meals from the offerings brought to the temple? And those who serve at the altar get a share of the sacrificial offerings. 14 In the same way, the Lord ordered that those who preach the Good News should be supported by those who benefit from it. 15 Yet I have never used any of these rights. And I am not writing this to suggest that I want to start now. In fact, I would rather die than lose my right to boast about preaching without charge.

11 If we have sown spiritual seed among you, is it too much if we reap a material harvest from you?(A) 12 If others have this right of support from you, shouldn’t we have it all the more?
But we did not use this right.(B) On the contrary, we put up with anything rather than hinder(C) the gospel of Christ.
13 Don’t you know that those who serve in the temple get their food from the temple, and that those who serve at the altar share in what is offered on the altar?(D) 14 In the same way, the Lord has commanded that those who preach the gospel should receive their living from the gospel.(E)
15 But I have not used any of these rights.(F) And I am not writing this in the hope that you will do such things for me, for I would rather die than allow anyone to deprive me of this boast.(G)
