him as long as I live.

Corinthians 9
2Co 9:1
It is indeed unnecessary for me to write to you concerning the
service to the saints,
2Co 9:2
for I know your readiness, of which I boast on your behalf to them of
Macedonia, that Achaia has been prepared for a year past. Your zeal
has stirred up very many of them.
2Co 9:3
But I have sent the brothers that our boasting on your behalf may not
be in vain in this respect, that, just as I said, you may be
prepared,
2Co 9:4
so that I won't by any means, if there come with me any of Macedonia
and find you unprepared, we (to say nothing of you) should be
disappointed in this confident boasting.
2Co 9:5 I
thought it necessary therefore to entreat the brothers that they
would go before to you, and arrange ahead of time the generous gift
that you promised before, that the same might be ready as a matter of
generosity, and not of greediness.
2Co 9:6
Remember this: he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly. He who
sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.
2Co 9:7
Let each man give according as he has determined in his heart; not
grudgingly, or under compulsion; for God loves a cheerful giver.
2Co 9:8
And God is able to make all grace abound to you, that you, always
having all sufficiency in everything, may abound to every good work.
2Co 9:9
As it is written, "He has scattered abroad, he has given to the
poor. His righteousness remains forever."
2Co 9:10
Now may he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food, supply
and multiply your seed for sowing, and increase the fruits of your
righteousness;
2Co 9:11
you being enriched in everything to all liberality, which works
through us thanksgiving to God.
2Co 9:12
For this service of giving that you perform not only makes up for
lack among the saints, but abounds also through many givings of
thanks to God;
2Co 9:13
seeing that through the proof given by this service, they glorify God
for the obedience of your confession to the Good News of Christ, and
for the liberality of your contribution to them and to all;
2Co 9:14
while they themselves also, with supplication on your behalf, yearn
for you by reason of the exceeding grace of God in you.
2Co 9:15
Now thanks be to God for his unspeakable gift!
