9As it is said in the Writings, He has sent out far and wide, he has given to the poor; his righteousness is for ever.
10And he who gives seed for putting into the field and bread for food, will take care of the growth of your seed, at the same time increasing the fruits of your righteousness;
11Your wealth being increased in everything, with a simple mind, causing praise to God through us.
12For this work of giving not only takes care of the needs of the saints, but is the cause of much praise to God;
13For when, through this work of giving, they see what you are, they give glory to God for the way in which you have given yourselves to the good news of Christ, and for the wealth of your giving to them and to all;
14While their hearts go out to you in love and in prayer for you, because of the great grace of God which is in you.
15Praise be to God for what he has given, which words have no power to say.
