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.

6 Remember this: he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly. He who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. 7 Let each man give according as he has determined in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
