the_‹one› & supplying seed ˱to˲_the_‹one› sowing and bread for food

Note 3 topic: grammar-collectivenouns

σπόρον & τὸν σπόρον ὑμῶν

seed & the seed ˱of˲_you_all

Here Paul applies what he said about actual seed and bread in the first half of the verse to what he is telling the Corinthians about giving to fellow believers. He means that God will give them the means to give (the seed) and will enable their gifts to really help others (increasing the fruit). If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a simile or express the idea in plain language. Alternate translation: [will supply and multiply what you have like it was seed and will increase what your righteousness accomplishes like it was fruits] or [will supply and multiply your possessions and will increase what your righteousness accomplishes]

Here Paul uses the possessive form to connect fruits with your righteousness. He could be identifying fruits that: (1) come from righteousness. Alternate translation: [the fruits that come from your righteousness] (2) are righteousness. Alternate translation: [the fruits, that is, your righteousness]
