2 Corinthians 9:9-11

EasyEnglish Bible

⁹The Bible says this about someone who helps other people:

‘He has shared his things with many poor people.
God will always remember how kind that person has been.’^[a]

¹⁰It is God who supplies seeds for the farmer to plant. It is God who supplies bread for food. God will help you in the same way. He will give you plenty of things so that you can help other people. You will be like a farmer who plants many seeds. And God will cause those seeds to grow. There will be many good results from the help that you give to other people. That will be like a great harvest. ¹¹God will make you rich with many good things. As a result, you will always be able to give plenty to other people. Many people will thank God because of your gifts that we take to them.
