2 Corinthians9:10
10 Now he that ministreth seed to the sower , both minister bread for your food , and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness .
The God, whose Providence and Blessing maketh rich, and who giveth this seed to the sower,
supply you with whatsoever you stand in need of for this life,
and give you an heart to multiply that spiritual seed, by which the fruits of your Righteousness shall be increased. Some Greek Copies read these words in the Future tense, according to which reading they are a formal promise, both of good things, whereby they might shew their Charity; and also of a free and large heart, disposing them to that exercise of Grace. Our Translators render it in the form of a Prayer; which yet being the Prayer of the Apostle, put up in Faith, doth virtually contain a promise both of a temporal, and a spiritual increase.
