6 But this {is true}, he that sows sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he that sows in {the spirit of} blessing shall reap also in blessing:

7 each according as he is purposed in his heart; not grievingly, or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver.

6 Ko taku ia tenei, He torutoru a tetahi i rui ai, he torutoru ano ana e kokoti ai; a ko te mea he maha ana i rui ai, he maha ano ana e kokoti ai.

7 Kia rite te mahi a ia tangata ki tana i whakaaro ai i roto i tona ngakau; kaua e tu a pouri, kaua e whakauaua: ko ta te Atua hoki e aroha ai, ko te tangata ringa mahorahora.
