The Cheerful Giver

2 Corinthians 9

6 And this: He who is sowing sparingly, sparingly also shall reap; and he who is sowing in blessings, in blessings also shall reap; 7 each one, according as he doth purpose in heart, not out of sorrow or out of necessity, for a cheerful giver doth God love, 8 and God [is] able all grace to cause to abound to you, that in every thing always all sufficiency having, ye may abound to every good work,

9 (according as it hath been written, `He dispersed abroad, he gave to the poor, his righteousness doth remain to the age,')

10 and may He who is supplying seed to the sower, and bread for food, supply and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness, 11 in every thing being enriched to all liberality, which doth work through us thanksgiving to God, 12 because the ministration of this service not only is supplying the wants of the saints, but is also abounding through many thanksgivings to God, 13 through the proof of this ministration glorifying God for the subjection of your confession to the good news of the Christ, and [for] the liberality of the fellowship to them and to all, 14 and by their supplication in your behalf, longing after you because of the exceeding grace of God upon you; 15 thanks also to God for His unspeakable gift!
