6 And [remember] this: he who is sowing sparingly, will also reap sparingly; and he who is sowing in blessings, will also reap in blessings; 7 each one, according as he purposes in heart, not out of sorrow or out of necessity, for God loves a cheerful giver, 8 and God [is] able to cause all grace to abound to you, that in everything always having all sufficiency, you may abound to every good work, 9 according as it has been written: "He dispersed abroad, He gave to the poor, His righteousness remains throughout 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 being enriched to all liberality in everything, which works thanksgiving through us to God, 12 because the ministry of this service not only is supplying the wants of the holy ones, but is also abounding through many thanksgivings to God,
