Now He who supplies seed to the sower
This phrase identifies God as the ultimate provider, echoing the agricultural imagery common in biblical times. In ancient Israel, agriculture was a primary occupation, and the dependence on God for rain and fertile soil was a constant reminder of His provision. This imagery is also found inIsaiah 55:10, where God’s word is likened to rain that waters the earth, providing seed to the sower. The sower represents those who work diligently, trusting in God’s provision.

and bread for food
Bread is a staple in many cultures and was central to the diet in biblical times. It symbolizes sustenance and life. In the Lord’s Prayer (Matthew 6:11), Jesus teaches His disciples to ask for daily bread, emphasizing reliance on God for daily needs. This phrase underscores God’s role in providing not just the means to plant (seed) but also the end product (bread), highlighting His comprehensive care.

will supply and multiply your store of seed
This promise of multiplication reflects God’s abundant provision. The concept of God multiplying resources is seen throughout Scripture, such as in the feeding of the 5,000 (John 6:1-14). The idea is that God not only meets needs but exceeds them, allowing for generosity and further sowing. This multiplication is both a physical and spiritual principle, encouraging believers to trust in God’s ability to expand their resources for His purposes.

and will increase the harvest of your righteousness
The harvest of righteousness refers to the spiritual fruits that result from living a life aligned with God’s will. InGalatians 6:9, Paul encourages believers not to grow weary in doing good, for in due season they will reap a harvest. This harvest is not just material but includes spiritual growth and the impact of righteous living on others. The imagery of harvest ties back to the agricultural context, where a bountiful harvest is the reward for diligent labor and reliance on God’s provision.

What Does 2 Corinthians 9:10 Mean
He who supplies seed to the sower

God Himself is pictured as the One who hands seed to every farmer. Paul reaches back to a truth already woven through Scripture:

•Isaiah 55:10: “As the rain and snow fall from heaven… providing seed for the sower and bread for the eater.”

•Psalm 104:14: “He makes the grass grow for the livestock and crops for man to cultivate, bringing forth food from the earth.”

•Acts 17:25: “He Himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else.”

Because the Lord literally places seed in our hands, generosity is never about what we have produced by ourselves; it is about stewarding what He has already supplied.

and bread for food

The same God who gives seed also makes sure it reaches the table.

•Matthew 6:31-32 assures us that the Father “knows that you need all these things.”

•Psalm 37:25: “I have never seen the righteous forsaken or their children begging for bread.”

He meets daily needs (Matthew 6:11), proving that nothing is too small for His care. If His provision covers breakfast, it certainly covers the resources we give away in His name.

will supply and multiply your store of seed

Paul now moves from provision to multiplication. God doesn’t just replace what was given; He enlarges it.

•Luke 6:38: “Give, and it will be given to you… poured into your lap, for with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you.”

•Proverbs 11:24-25: “One gives freely, yet gains even more… whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.”

•Philippians 4:19: “My God will supply all your needs according to His glorious riches in Christ Jesus.”

When believers sow generously, the Lord replenishes in such a way that future giving can widen. The “store of seed” grows so the cycle of generosity accelerates.

and will increase the harvest of your righteousness

The final promise reaches beyond material multiplication. God looks to produce a bumper crop of righteousness in the giver’s life.

•Hosea 10:12: “Sow for yourselves righteousness; reap the fruit of loving devotion.”

•Galatians 6:9: “Let us not grow weary in well-doing, for in due time we will reap if we do not give up.”

•Philippians 1:11 speaks of being “filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ.”

What begins as meeting another person’s need ends with deeper Christlikeness, eternal reward, and praise to God (2 Corinthians 9:11-13).

summary

2 Corinthians 9:10 traces a beautiful circle: God provides the original seed, feeds us from it, replaces and multiplies it, and finally turns our generosity into a rich harvest of righteous character and eternal impact. Because every step originates with Him and returns to His glory, we can give freely, confidently expecting both material supply and spiritual fruitfulness.

(10)Now he that ministereth seed to the sower.--Better,he that giveth bounteously. The Greek verb (epichoregein) has a somewhat interesting history. Originally it expressed the act of one who undertook to defray the expenses of the chorus of a Greek theatre. As this was an act of somewhat stately generosity, the verb got a wider range, and was applied to any such act, and was so transferred in like manner by the Apostle, probably, as far as we can trace, for the first time, to the divine bounty. It may be noted that it was not so used by the LXX. translators. The word indeed occurs but once in that version, inEcclesiasticus 25:22 ("if a womanmaintain her husband"). In its higher sense it becomes a somewhat favourite word with St. Paul (Galatians 3:5;Colossians 2:19), and is used by St. Peter (2Peter 1:5;2Peter 1:11) after he had become acquainted with St. Paul's Epistles, and possibly enriched his vocabulary through them.

The phrase "seed to the sower" occurs, with a different verb, inIsaiah 55:10. In the words that follow, "the fruits of righteousness," there is an obvious reminiscence ofHosea 10:12, andAmos 6:12. The phrase occurs again inPhilippians 1:11. The construction, according to the better MSS., varies somewhat from that of the Authorised version.He that bounteously giveth seed to the sower and bread for food (the beneficence of God thought of, as shown both in seed-time and harvest)shall give bounteously, and multiply your seed, and increase the produce of your righteousness. "Righteousness" is taken, as before, as specially presented under the aspect of alms-giving. . . .

Verse 10. -He that ministereth. The verb used isepichoregein, to furnish abundantly. At Athens achoragus was one who furnished a chorus, and as this was aleitourgia (or "public service"), involving great expense, and often discharged with extreme munificence, the verb came to imply "provide abundantly." St. Paul may (so to speak) have "picked up the word" at Athens.Seed to the sower (Isaiah 55:10).Both minister. The true reading almost certainly is "will both supply bread for food, andwill multiply your seed for sowing, andwill increase the fruits of your righteousness" (seeIsaiah 55:10, LXX.).The fruits of your righteousness (Hosea 10:12, LXX.). In "righteousness," as in all things else, it is God only who "gives the increase" (1 Corinthians 3:10).
