As it is written:

“They have freely scattered their gifts(A) to the poor;
    their righteousness endures forever.”[a](B)

10 Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food(C) will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness.(D) 11 You will be enriched(E) in every way so that you can be generous(F) on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God.(G)

12 This service that you perform is not only supplying the needs(H) of the Lord’s people but is also overflowing in many expressions of thanks to God.(I) 13 Because of the service(J) by which you have proved yourselves, others will praise God(K) for the obedience that accompanies your confession(L) of the gospel of Christ,(M) and for your generosity(N) in sharing with them and with everyone else.
