2 Corinthians 9:8–12 · Berean Standard Bible

8 And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things, at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.

9 As it is written: “He has scattered abroad His gifts to the poor; His righteousness endures forever.”

10 Now He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your store of seed and will increase the harvest of your righteousness.

11 You will be enriched in every way to be generous on every occasion, so that through us your giving will produce thanksgiving to God.

12 For this ministry of service is not only supplying the needs of the saints, but is also overflowing in many expressions of thanksgiving to God.
