2 Corinthians 9:6–9
The Cheerful Giver
6 (Prov. 11:24; 22:9; Gal. 6:7, 9) But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows (with blessings) bountifully will also reap (with blessings) bountifully.
7 So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, (Deut. 15:7) not grudgingly or of (compulsion) necessity; for (Deut. 15:10; 1 Chr. 29:17; [Prov. 11:25]; Rom. 12:8; [2 Cor. 8:12]) God loves a cheerful giver.
8 [Prov. 11:24] And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work.
9 As it is written:
(Ps. 112:9) "He has dispersed abroad,
He has given to the poor;
His righteousness endures forever.”
