Cheerful Giving and God's Abundant Provision

2 Corinthians 9:6-15

9
Chapter 9
6 But this: the one sowing sparingly will also reap sparingly, and the one sowing upon blessings will also reap upon blessings. 7 Each one, as he has purposed in his heart, not from grief or from compulsion—for God loves a cheerful giver. 8 And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that you, always having all self-sufficiency in everything, may abound in every good work. 9 As it is written: He scattered; he gave to the poor; his righteousness remains forever. 10 Now the one supplying seed to the one sowing and bread for eating will supply and multiply your seed and increase the crops of your righteousness. 11 being enriched in all things with all simplicity, which works through us thanksgiving to God— 12 because the ministry of this service is not only filling up the deficiencies of the holy ones, but also abounding through many thanksgivings to God— 13 through the testing of this ministry, glorifying God for the subjection of your confession to the gospel of Christ and the generosity of the fellowship to them and to all, 14 and their supplication for you, yearning for you because of the surpassing grace of God upon you. 15 Thanks to God for his indescribable gift.
