2 Corinthians 9:12–15
12For the administration of this service not only supplieth the want of the saints, but is abundant also by many thanksgivings unto God;
13Whiles by the experiment of this ministration they glorify God for your professed subjection unto the gospel of Christ, and for your liberal distribution unto them, and unto all men;
14And by their prayer for you, which long after you for the exceeding grace of God in you.
15Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift.
Stay with the movement.
The collection joins Jewish and Gentile believers, proves gospel obedience, and awakens prayer across distance. Every good gift points beyond itself to God's unspeakable gift. Paul shows that gospel ministry takes the shape of the crucified and risen Christ: truthful, costly, humble, and sustained by grace.
See giving not only as transfer of resources but as worship that binds God's people. This is not a demand to manufacture strength. It is an invitation to receive God's sufficiency and let grace become visible in ordinary faithfulness.
