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.”

This is what I mean: The one who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly. The one who sows generously[a] will also reap generously. Each one should give as he has determined in his heart, not reluctantly or under pressure, for God loves a cheerful giver.

God Provides

God is able to make all grace overflow to you, so that in all things, at all times, having all that you need, you will overflow in every good work. As it is written:

He scattered; he gave to the poor.
His righteousness remains forever.[b]
