Each one must do just as he has purposed in his heart, not (B)grudgingly or under compulsion, for (C)God loves a cheerful giver.

(E)He scattered abroad, he gave to the poor,
His righteousness [c]endures forever.”

10 Now He who supplies (F)seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and (G)increase the harvest of your righteousness; 11 you will be (H)enriched in everything for all liberality, which through us is producing (I)thanksgiving to God.
