2 Corinthians 9:13
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.
Because of the proof this ministry provides, the saints will glorify God for your obedient confession of the gospel of Christ, and for the generosity of your contribution to them and to all the others.
14 And their prayers for you will express their affection for you, because of the surpassing grace God has given you.
15 Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift!
