Now this I say, (A)he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows with blessing will also reap with blessing. 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. And (D)God is able to make every grace abound to you, so that in everything at every time having every sufficiency, you may have an abundance for every good deed; as it is written,

(E)He scattered abroad, he gave to the needy,
His righteousness [a]stands forever.”

  1. 2 Corinthians 9:9 Lit abides

But this I say, He that soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he that soweth [a]bountifully shall reap also [b]bountifully. Let each man do according as he hath purposed in his heart: not [c]grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. 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: as it is written,

[d]He hath scattered abroad, he hath given to the poor;
His righteousness abideth for ever.
