2Corinthians:9:6-15

*
But [
I say ]
this ,
He who sows sparingly shall also reap sparingly ,
and he who sows bountifully shall also reap bountifully .
*
Each one ,
as he purposes in his heart , [
let him give ];
not of grief ,
or of necessity ,
for God loves a cheerful giver .
*
And God [
is ]
able to make all grace abound toward you ,
that in everything ,
always having all self-sufficiency ,
you may abound to every good work ;
*
As it is written ,
He scattered ;
he has given to the poor ;
his righteousness remains forever .
*
Now He who supplies seed to the sower ,
and bread for eating ,
may He supply and multiply your seed ,
and increase the fruits of your righteousness
*
you being enriched in everything to all generosity ,
which works out thanksgiving to God through us .
*
For the ministry of this service not only supplies the things lacking of the saints ,
but also multiplying through many thanksgivings to God ,
*
through the proof of this ministry [
they ]
glorify God for your freely expressed submission to the gospel of Christ ,
and the generosity of the fellowship toward them and toward all ,
*
and [
in ]
their prayer for you ,
who long after you ,
because of the exceeding grace of God on you .
*
Thanks [
be ]
to God for His unspeakable free gift .
