2 Corinthians 9:6-9

The Cheerful Giver

⁶ The point is this: _v whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully ₁ will also reap bountifully. ⁷ Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, _w not reluctantly or under compulsion, for _x God loves a cheerful giver. ⁸ And _y God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency ₂ in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work.

⁹ As it is written,
_z "He has distributed freely, he has given to the poor;
his righteousness endures forever."
