VERSE (12) - :1; 8:4

SEV Biblia, Chapter 9:12

Porque la suministracin de este servicio, no solamente suple lo que a los santos falta, sino tambin abunda en muchas acciones de gracias a Dios;

Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 Corinthians 9:12

Verse 12. For the administration of this service] The poor are relieved, see the hand of God in this relief, and give God the glory of his grace.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 12. For the administration of this service , etc..] Not only by the Corinthians, and others, in giving and collecting, but by the apostles in ministering and distributing their contributions to the poor saints, produced these two very good effects: for it not only supplieth the wants of the saints ; makes up their deficiencies, relieves their necessities, and furnishes them with what is comfortable and refreshing to them under their many sorrowful circumstances, which is answering a very valuable end: but is abundant also by many thanks givings to God ; it has over and above this excellency in it, or its excellent use is enhanced, and abundantly appears by this consideration; that many precious souls are sent hereby to the throne of grace to give thanks to God, who put it into the hearts of the apostles to move the churches on their behalf, and who wrought upon them so cheerfully and largely to contribute to their necessities.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 6-15 - Money bestowed in charity, may to the carnal mind seem thrown away, but when given from proper principles, it is seed sown, from which valuable increase may be expected. It should be given carefully. Work of charity, like other good works, should be done with thought an design. Due thought, as to our circumstances, and those we are about to relieve, will direct our gifts for charitable uses. Help should be given freely, be it more or less; not grudgingly, but cheerfully. Whil some scatter, and yet increase; others withhold more than is meet, an it tends to poverty. If we had more faith and love, we should wast less on ourselves, and sow more in hope of a plentiful increase. Can man lose by doing that with which God is pleased? He is able to make all grace abound towards us, and to abound in us; to give a larg increase of spiritual and of temporal good things. He can make us to have enough in all things; and to be content with what we have. God gives not only enough for ourselves, but that also wherewith we ma supply the wants of others, and this should be as seed to be sown. We must show the reality of our subjection to the gospel, by works of charity. This will be for the credit of our profession, and to the praise and glory of God. Let us endeavour to copy the example of Christ, being unwearied in doing good, and deeming it more blessed to give than to receive. Blessed be God for the unspeakable gift of his grace, whereby he enables and inclines some of his people to besto upon others, and others to be grateful for it; and blessed be his glorious name to all eternity, for Jesus Christ, that inestimable gif of his love, through whom this and every other good thing, pertainin to life and godliness, are freely given unto us, beyond all expression measure, or bounds __________________________________________________________________

Vincent's NT Word Studies

12. Service (leitourgiav). Also rendered ministry or ministration (A.V. and Rev.), as Luke i. 23; Heb. viii. 6; ix. 21. See on Luke i. 23. The word is used of this same contribution, Rom. xv. 7.

Supplieth (estin prosanaplhrousa). Lit., fills up by adding to. Only here and ch. xi. 9. Supplementing what the saints lack.

Through many thanksgivings. The need of the poor is filled, like an empty vessel, to the brim, and the supply overflows in the thanksgiving which it calls out. Thus christian beneficence does a double work, in giving relief and in generating thankfulness.

Robertson's NT Word Studies

9:12 {Service} (leitourgias). Old word from lews (people, laos), leitos like demosios, public, and ergon, work. So public service either in worship to God (#Lu 1:23) or benefaction to others (#2Co 9:12; Php 2:30). Our word liturgy is this word. {Filleth up} (estin prosanaplerousa). Present active periphrastic indicative of double compound verb prosanaplerow, _Koin_ word, here and #11:9 only in N.T., to fill up by adding to. The Corinthians simply added to the total from others. {Unto God} (twi qewi). Dative case and with a certain suddenness as at close of verse #11, really a parenthesis between in the somewhat tangled sentence.
