2 Cor. 9:6 sows bountifully. Paul expands a well-known proverb, “You reap what you sow” (e.g., Job 4:8; Gal. 6:7). God provides opportunities to give generously. Those who sow generously will also reap bountifully in terms of bearing fruit for God’s kingdom (2 Cor. 9:11).

2 Cor. 9:7–8 God loves (“approves of”) a cheerful giver (see Deut. 15:10; Rom. 12:8).

2 Cor. 9:10 God will increase the harvest in terms of increasing your righteousness. Thus the quoted OT texts (Isa. 55:10; Hos. 10:12) refer specifically to the provision of God’s Word for the salvation of his people.

2 Cor. 9:15 The Corinthians’ gift reflects the inexpressible gift God has given believers in Christ (see 8:9; Rom. 8:32).
