‏ 2 Corinthians 9:10

 Supplieth ( επιχορηγων ). Late Koine compound verb from  επ and  χορηγεω, just below (1Pe 4:11).  Χορηγος is old word for leader of a chorus ( χοροσ, ηγεομα ) or chorus-leader. The verb means to furnish a chorus at one's own expense, then to supply in general. N.T. examples of  επιχορηγεω are 2Co 9:10; Ga 3:15; Col 2:19; 2Pe 1:5.

 Shall multiply ( πληθυνε ). Future active indicative of  πληθυνω, old verb from  πληθυς, fulness. Cf. Ac 6:1.

 Fruits ( γενηματα ). Correct reading (from  γινομα, to become) and not  γεννηματα (from  γενναω, to beget). This spelling is supported by LXX where Thackeray shows that  γενηματα in LXX refers to vegetables and  γεννηματα to animals. The papyri support this distinction (Moulton and Milligan's Vocabulary).
