2 Corinthians 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;”
What does 2 Corinthians 9:10 mean?
Paul is asking God to bless the Corinthians' giving by using farming language that would have felt natural to his ancient audience. Just as a farmer needs seed to plant and food to survive, the Corinthians need resources to share with others, and Paul trusts God to provide both. He's saying that generosity isn't a drain on your life, but rather something God multiplies back to you, so you'll have even more opportunity to do good and help others. The beautiful part is that he connects material blessing directly to spiritual fruitfulness, suggesting that when we give generously, God sustains us and increases our ability to live righteously and make a real difference in the world.
