9As it is written, "He has scattered abroad, he has given to the poor. His righteousness remains forever."
10Now may he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food, supply and multiply your seed for sowing, and increase the fruits of your righteousness;
11you being enriched in everything to all liberality, which works through us thanksgiving to God.
12For this service of giving that you perform not only makes up for lack among the saints, but abounds also through many givings of thanks to God;
13seeing that through the proof given by this service, they glorify God for the obedience of your confession to the gospel of Christ, and for the liberality of your contribution to them and to all;
14while they themselves also, with supplication on your behalf, yearn for you by reason of the exceeding grace of God in you.
