(NASB) 2 Corinthians 9:13 “Because of the proof given by this ministry, they will glorify God for your obedience to your confession of the gospel of Christ and for the liberality of your contribution to them and to all,”

  Many people were involved in giving financially, as they were able, to meet needs of the followers of Christ in Jerusalem.

  The proof of this ministry: 
God was glorified.
Obedience of the givers was proof of their faith in the Gospel of Christ Jesus.
Generosity of the contributors to others in need was also a proof of this important ministry.

(NASB) 2 Corinthians 9:14 “while they also, by prayer on your behalf, yearn for you because of the surpassing grace of God in you.”
