2 Corinthians 9:12-15

AUV(i) 12 For the rendering of this service not only [fully] meets the needs of the saints [i.e., God’s holy people], but also produces overflowing expressions of thanksgiving to God from many people. 13 Because you people have proven [yourselves] by this service, the poor Christians in Jerusalem will praise God for your obedient [spirit] in professing [commitment to] the Gospel of Christ, and for your generous contribution to them and to everyone else. 14 And when they see the outstanding [evidence of] God’s favor in you, they will pray for you with deep affection [or, “will long to see you”]. 15 I thank God for His indescribable gift [i.e., Christ. See Rom. 8:32].
