2 Corinthians 9:6-9
Legacy Standard Bible

6 Now this I say, (A)he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows with blessing will also reap with blessing. 7 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. 8 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; 9 as it is written,

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

2 Corinthians 9:6-9
Lexham English Bible

6 Now the point is this: the one who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and the one who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. 7 Each one should give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly[a] or from compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. 8 And God is able to cause all grace to abound to you, so that in everything at all times, because you[b] have enough of everything, you may overflow in every good work. 9 Just as it is written,

“He scattered widely, he gave to the poor;
his righteousness remains forever[c].”[d]
