2 Corinthians 9:6-11

6Now this I say, 1he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows 2bountifully will also reap 3bountifully. 7Each one must do just as he has purposed in his heart, not 4grudgingly or under compulsion, for 5God loves a cheerful giver. 8And 6God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that always having all sufficiency in everything, you may have an abundance for every good deed; 9as it is written, “7He scattered abroad, he gave to the poor, His righteousness 8endures forever.” 10Now He who supplies 9seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and 10increase the harvest of your righteousness; 11you will be 11enriched in everything for all liberality, which through us is producing 12thanksgiving to God.
