New American Standard Bible 1995
2 Corinthians 9:5-7
5So I thought it necessary to urge the 1brethren that they would go on ahead to you and arrange beforehand your previously promised 23bountiful gift, so that the same would be ready as a 45bountiful gift and not 67affected by covetousness.
6Now this I say, 8he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows 9bountifully will also reap 10bountifully. 7Each one must do just as he has purposed in his heart, not 11grudgingly or under compulsion, for 12God loves a cheerful giver.
