6 The point is this: he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. 7 Each one must do as he has made up his mind, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. 8 And God is able to provide you with every blessing in abundance, so that you may always have enough of everything and may provide in abundance for every good work. 9 As it is written,

“He scatters abroad, he gives to the poor;

his righteousnessk endures for ever.”

10 He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your resourcesl and increase the harvest of your righteousness.* 11 You will be enriched in every way for great generosity, which through us will produce thanksgiving to God;
