6 Now this I say, he who sows sparingly, shall reap sparingly; and he who sows bountifully, shall reap bountifully.

7 Every one according as he has purposed in his heart, ought to give; not with regret, nor by constraint; for God loves a cheerful giver.

8 And God is able to make every blessing abound to you; that in everything, always having all sufficiency, you may abound in every good work.

9 «As it is written,» 'He has dispersed, he has given to the poor: his righteousness remains forever.'

10 Now, may he who supplies seed to the sower, and bread for food, supply and multiply your seed sown, and increase the products of your righteousness.

11 That you may be enriched in everything, for all liberality, which produces, through us, thanksgiving to God.

12 For the ministry of this public service, not only fill us up completely the wants of the saints; but also abounds in many thanksgivings to God.
