2 Corinthians 9:6-11 Now this is the way it is: Whoever sows sparingly will reap sparingly too, but whoever sows bountifully will reap bountifully too.

Williams⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁶ Now this is the way it is: Whoever sows sparingly will reap sparingly too, but whoever sows bountifully will reap bountifully too. ⁷ Each must give what he has purposed in his heart to give, not sorrowfully or under compulsion, for it is the happy giver that God loves. ⁸ And God is able to make your every spiritual blessing overflow for you, so that you will always have in every situation an entire sufficiency and so overflow for every good cause; ⁹ as the Scripture says: "He has generously given to the poor; His deeds of charity go on forever." ¹⁰ He who always supplies the sower with seed and the eater with bread will supply you with seed and multiply it and enlarge the harvest which your deeds of charity yield. ¹¹ In every way you will grow richer and richer so as to give with perfect liberality, which will through me result in thanksgiving to God for it.
