2 Corinthians 9

6 The point is this:  * 9:6 Lit And this The person who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and the person who sows generously will also reap generously. 7 Each person should do as he has decided in his heart — not reluctantly or out of compulsion, since God loves  * 9:7 Lk 6:35; Jn 3:16; 12:43; 2Th 2:13; Rv 12:11 a cheerful giver. 8 And God is able  * 9:8 Eph 3:20 to make every grace overflow to you, so that in every way, always having everything you need, you may excel in every good work. 9 As it is written:

He distributed freely;* 9:9 Jn 16:32

he gave to the poor;

his righteousness endures forever.* 9:9 Ps 112:9,* 9:9 Ps 112:9; 1Jn 2:17

10 Now the one who provides seed for the sower and bread for food will also provide and multiply your seed and increase the harvest of your righteousness.  * 9:10 Is 55:10–11; Hs 10:1211 You will be enriched  * 9:11 1Co 1:5; 2Co 6:10 in every way for all generosity, which produces thanksgiving to God through us. 12 For the ministry of this service  * 9:12 Heb 8:6 is not only supplying the needs of the saints but is also overflowing in many expressions of thanks to God.
