6But this I say, pHe which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. 7Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; qnot rgrudgingly, or of necessity: for sGod loveth a cheerful giver. 8And ptGod is able to make all ugrace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every xgood work: 9(As it is written, yHe hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever. 10Now he that zministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase athe fruits of your brighteousness;) 11Being enriched in every thing to all ||†bountifulness, which causeth cthrough us thanksgiving to God. 12For adthe administration of this service not only supplieth ethe want of the saints, but is abundant also cfby many thanksgivings unto God; 13Whiles by the gexperiment of this dministration they hglorify God for your professed isubjection unto the gospel of Christ, and for your jliberal distribution unto them, and unto all men; 14And by their prayer for you, which long after you for the exceeding lgrace of God in you. 15Thanks be unto lGod for his unspeakable gift.
