2 Corinthians 9

9For as touching ^athe ministering to ^bthe saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you: ²For I know ^cthe forwardness of your mind, ^dfor which I boast of you to them of Macedonia, that ^eAchaia was ready ^fa year ago; and your zeal hath provoked very many. ³Yet have I sent ^gthe brethren, lest ^hour boasting of you should be in vain ⁱin this behalf; that, ^jas I said, ye may be ready: ⁴Lest haply if ^kthey of Macedonia come with me, and find you unprepared, we (that we say not, ye) should be ashamed in ^lthis same ^mconfident boasting. ⁵Therefore I thought it necessary to exhort ^gthe brethren, that they would go before unto you, and make up beforehand your ^†bounty, ^||whereof ye had notice before, that the same might be ready, ⁿas a matter of ^||bounty, and ^onot as of covetousness. ⁶But this I say, ^pHe which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. ⁷Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; ^qnot ^rgrudgingly, or of necessity: for ^sGod loveth a cheerful giver. ⁸And ^ptGod is able to make all ^ugrace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every ^xgood work: ⁹(As it is written, ^yHe hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever. ¹⁰Now he that ^zministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase ^athe fruits of your ^brighteousness;) ¹¹Being enriched in every thing to all ^||†bountifulness, which causeth ^cthrough us thanksgiving to God. ¹²For ^adthe administration of this service not only supplieth ^ethe want of the saints, but is abundant also ^cfby many thanksgivings unto God; ¹³Whiles by the ^gexperiment of this ^dministration they ^hglorify God for your professed ⁱsubjection unto the gospel of Christ, and for your ^jliberal distribution unto them, and unto all men; ¹⁴And by their prayer for you, which long after you for the exceeding ^lgrace of God in you. ¹⁵Thanks be unto ^lGod for his unspeakable gift.
