God is able to make all grace abound to you, that you, always having all sufficiency in everything, may abound to every good work.
9
As it is written, "He has scattered abroad, he has given to the poor. His righteousness remains forever."
10
Now 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;
11
you being enriched in everything to all liberality, which works through us thanksgiving to God.
12
For 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;
13
seeing 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;
14
while they themselves also, with supplication on your behalf, yearn for you by reason of the exceeding grace of God in you.
