2 Corinthians 9:4-7
4OtherwiseG3361G4459, ifG1437 any MacedoniansG3110 comeG2064 withG4862 meG1473 andG2532 findG2147 youG4771 unpreparedG532, weG1473—toG2443 sayG3004 nothingG3361 of youG4771—would be ashamed ofG2617 having been soG3778 confidentG5287. 5SoG3767 I thoughtG2233 it necessaryG316 to urgeG3870 theG3588 brothersG80 toG2443 visit you beforehandG4281G1519G4771 andG2532 make arrangementsG4294 for theG3588 generous giftG2129 you had promisedG4279. This wayG3779, yourG4771 gift will beG1510 preparedG2092 generouslyG5613G2129 andG2532 notG3361 begrudginglyG5613G4124.
6Remember thisG3778: WhoeverG3588 sowsG4687 sparinglyG5340 will alsoG2532 reapG2325 sparinglyG5340, andG2532 whoeverG3588 sowsG4687 generouslyG1909G2129 will alsoG2532 reapG2325 generouslyG1909G2129. 7Each oneG1538 should give whatG2531 he has decidedG4255 inG3588 his heartG2588 to give, notG3361 out ofG1537 regretG3077 orG2228 compulsionG318. ForG1063 GodG2316 lovesG25 a cheerfulG2431 giverG1395.1
