9:6 The point is this: the one who sows sparingly will also
reap sparingly, and the one who sows bountifully will also reap
bountifully.
9:7 Each of you must give as you have made up your mind, not
reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
9:8 And God is able to provide you with every blessing in
abundance, so that by always having enough of everything, you may
share abundantly in every good work.
9:9 As it is written, "He scatters abroad, he gives to the
poor; his righteousness endures forever."
9:10 He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food
will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the
harvest of your righteousness.
9:11 You will be enriched in every way for your great
generosity, which will produce thanksgiving to God through us;
9:12 for the rendering of this ministry not only supplies
the needs of the saints but also overflows with many thanksgivings
to God.
9:13 Through the testing of this ministry you glorify God by
your obedience to the confession of the gospel of Christ and by the
generosity of your sharing with them and with all others,
9:14 while they long for you and pray for you because of the
surpassing grace of God that he has given you.
9:15 Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!
