⁵Therefore I thought it necessary to desire the brethren that they would go to you before and prepare this blessing before promised, to be ready, so as a blessing, not as covetousness.

⁶Now this I say: He who soweth sparingly shall also reap sparingly: and he who soweth in blessings shall also reap blessings.

⁷Every one as he hath determined in his heart, not with sadness or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.

⁸And God is able to make all grace abound in you: that ye always, having all sufficiently in all things, may abound to every good work,

⁹As it is written: He hath dispersed abroad, he hath given to the poor: his justice remaineth for ever.

¹⁰And he that ministereth seed to the sower will both give you bread to eat and will multiply your seed and increase the growth of the fruits of your justice:

¹¹That being enriched in all things, you may abound unto all simplicity which worketh through us thanksgiving to God.

¹²Because the administration of this office doth not only supply the want of the saints, but aboundeth also by many thanksgivings in the Lord.

¹³By the proof of this ministry, glorifying God for the obedience of your confession unto the gospel of Christ and for the simplicity of your communicating unto them and unto all.

Read in Logos

2 Corinthians 9:6–7: The point is this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.
