2 Corinthians 9:7-9

Living Bible

⁷ Everyone must make up his own mind as to how much he should give. Don’t force anyone to give more than he really wants to, for cheerful givers are the ones God prizes. ⁸ God is able to make it up to you by giving you everything you need and more so that there will not only be enough for your own needs but plenty left over to give joyfully to others. ⁹ It is as the Scriptures say: “The godly man gives generously to the poor. His good deeds will be an honor to him forever.”
