For this ministry of service
This phrase refers to the collection Paul is organizing for the impoverished believers in Jerusalem. The term "ministry" (Greek: diakonia) implies a service or duty performed for others, reflecting the early church's commitment to communal support and charity. This aligns with the teachings of Jesus, who emphasized serving others (Mark 10:45). The early church often engaged in acts of service, as seen inActs 6:1-4, where deacons were appointed to ensure fair distribution of resources.

is not only supplying the needs of the saints
The "saints" here refers to the believers in Jerusalem who were experiencing financial hardship. The early church viewed itself as a family, and there was a strong emphasis on mutual support (Acts 2:44-45). This collection was a practical expression of unity and love within the body of Christ, transcending cultural and geographical boundaries. It also fulfilled the principle of bearing one another's burdens (Galatians 6:2).

but is also overflowing in many expressions of thanksgiving to God
The act of giving not only meets physical needs but also results in spiritual blessings, as it leads to gratitude and worship. This reflects the biblical principle that generosity glorifies God (2 Corinthians 9:13). The recipients' thanksgiving is directed towards God, acknowledging Him as the ultimate provider. This mirrors the Old Testament practice of offerings and sacrifices as acts of worship and gratitude (Leviticus 7:12-15). The overflowing nature of thanksgiving suggests a multiplication effect, where the initial act of giving results in widespread praise and acknowledgment of God's goodness.

What Does 2 Corinthians 9:12 Mean
For this ministry of service

Paul calls the Corinthian offering “this ministry of service” to remind believers that giving is far more than a financial transaction; it is a sacred ministry.Romans 12:1 urges believers to present their bodies “as a living sacrifice,” and giving is one tangible expression of that sacrifice.Acts 20:35 records Jesus’ own words, “It is more blessed to give than to receive,” underscoring that generosity is core discipleship.

Is not only supplying the needs of the saints

The first, obvious outcome of the collection is meeting real, practical needs among fellow Christians.

•Acts 4:34-35 describes how early believers sold possessions so “there were no needy among them.”

•Galatians 6:10 encourages believers to “do good to everyone, and especially to the household of faith.”

God uses His people’s gifts to relieve hardship, proving His faithfulness through their obedience. When believers give, He channels those resources to brothers and sisters who are hurting, hungry, or under persecution.

But is also overflowing in many expressions of thanksgiving to God

The impact extends well beyond physical relief. As recipients experience God’s provision through His people, praise erupts:

•2 Corinthians 9:11 declares that generosity results in “thanksgiving to God.”

•Psalm 50:23 says, “He who offers a sacrifice of thanksgiving honors Me.”

•Philippians 4:18 shows Paul himself overflowing with thanks when the Philippians supplied his needs.

Because every good and perfect gift comes from the Father (James 1:17), generous giving turns hearts heavenward. The donor worships in the act of giving, and the recipient worships in the act of receiving. The reverberating chorus of gratitude magnifies God’s glory in the church (Ephesians 3:21).

summary

2 Corinthians 9:12 teaches that Christian giving is a holy ministry. It meets real needs among God’s people and simultaneously multiplies thanksgiving to the Lord. Our gifts relieve suffering, strengthen the body of Christ, and ignite worship on earth—demonstrating the grace and generosity of God Himself.

(12)For the administration of this service.--The latter word (leitourgia) has, like that for "ministering" in2Corinthians 9:10, an interesting history. In classical Greek it stands for any public service rendered to the State. In the LXX. version it, and its cognate verb and adjective, are used almost exclusively of the ritual and sacrificial services of the Tabernacle and the Temple, as,e.g., inNumbers 4:25;1Chronicles 11:13;1Chronicles 26:30; and in this sense it appears inLuke 1:23;Hebrews 8:6;Hebrews 9:21; and with the same shade of meaning, used figuratively, inPhilippians 2:17. That meaning survives in the ecclesiastical term "liturgy," applied, as it was at first, exclusively to the service of the celebration of the Lord's Supper. Here, probably, the thought is implied that a large and liberal gift to Christ's poor, and for His sake, is the most acceptable of all forms of "service" in the liturgical sense of that word. So understood it implies the same truth as that stated inJames 1:27. . . .Verse 12. -For the administration of this service. The word "liturgy," here rendered "service," is used in the same connection inRomans 15:27. Generally it means "religious service" (Acts 13:6;Philippians 2:17;Hebrews 10:11). Here it more resembles its classic sense of "a public office discharged for the good of the state," such as undertaking the office of achoragus (see ver. 10).Not only. St. Paul is anxious to emphasize thereligious side of the contribution fully as much as itsphilanthropic object.Is abundant. Itoverflows as it were in the form of thanksgivings to Galatians
