ESVEnglish Standard Version

One gives freely, yet grows all the richer;

another withholds what he should give, and only suffers want.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

One person gives freely, yet gains even more;

another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

One person gives freely,

yet gains more;

another withholds what is right,

only to become poor.

NLTNew Living Translation

Give freely and become more wealthy;

be stingy and lose everything.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

There is one who gives yet grows richer,

but he who withholds what is right only finds need.
