The Cheerful Giver
6The point is this: vwhoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully4 will also reap bountifully. 7Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, wnot reluctantly or under compulsion, for xGod loves a cheerful giver. 8And yGod is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency5 in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work. 9As it is written,
z“He has distributed freely, he has given to the poor;
his righteousness endures forever.”
10He who supplies aseed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and bincrease the harvest of your righteousness. 11cYou will be enriched in every way to be generous in every way, which dthrough us will produce thanksgiving to God. 12For the ministry of this service is not only supplying ethe needs of the saints but is also overflowing in many thanksgivings to God. 13By their approval of this service, fthey6 will glorify God because of your submission that comes from your gconfession of the gospel of Christ, and the generosity of your contribution for them and for all others, 14while they long for you and pray for you, because of the surpassing grace of God upon you. 15hThanks be to God for his inexpressible gift!
