2 Corinthians 9:6-9
21st Century King James Version
6 But this I say: He who soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly, and he who soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.
7 As every man purposeth in his heart, so let him give, not grudgingly or out of compulsion; for God loveth the cheerful giver.
8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound in every good work.
9 As it is written: “He hath dispersed abroad, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness remaineth for ever.”

6 But this I say, He that soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he that soweth [a]bountifully shall reap also [b]bountifully. 7 Let each man do according as he hath purposed in his heart: not [c]grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. 8 And God is able to make all grace abound unto you; that ye, having always all sufficiency in everything, may abound unto every good work: 9 as it is written,
[d]He hath scattered abroad, he hath given to the poor;
His righteousness abideth for ever.
