2 Corinthians 9

2 Cor. 9:1	For concerning the ministry to the saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you;
2 Cor. 9:2	For I know your eagerness, of which I boast on your behalf to the Macedonians, that Achaia has been prepared since last year; and your zeal has stirred up the greater number [of them.]
2 Cor. 9:3	But I sent the brothers that our boasting on your behalf might not be made void in this respect, that, as I said, you might be prepared;
2 Cor. 9:4	Lest, if the Macedonians come with me and find you unprepared, we, not to mention you, be put to shame in this confidence.
2 Cor. 9:5	Therefore I thought it necessary to entreat the brothers to go before to you and make ready beforehand your previously promised blessing, that thus this might be ready as a blessing and not as [a matter of] covetousness.
2 Cor. 9:6	But [take note of] this: He who sows sparingly shall also sparingly reap; and he who sows with blessings shall also with blessings reap;
2 Cor. 9:7	Each one as he has purposed in his heart, not out of sorrow or out of necessity, for God loves a cheerful giver.
2 Cor. 9:8	And God is able to make all grace abound unto you, that, in everything always having all sufficiency, you may abound unto every good work;
2 Cor. 9:9	Even as it is written, "He has scattered abroad; he has given to the poor; his righteousness abides forever."
2 Cor. 9:10	Now He who bountifully supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed and cause the fruits of your righteousness to increase.
2 Cor. 9:11	You in everything are being enriched unto all liberality, which works out through us thanksgiving to God,
2 Cor. 9:12	Because the ministry of this service is not only filling up the lack of the saints, but is also abounding through many thanksgivings to God.
2 Cor. 9:13	They, through the approving of this ministry, are glorifying God [based] upon the subjection unto the gospel of Christ that [issues] from your confession, and upon the liberality of the fellowship to them and to all;
2 Cor. 9:14	While in petition on your behalf they also long after you on account of the surpassing grace of God upon you.
2 Cor. 9:15	Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift!
