Remember this: he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly. He who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. Let each man give according as he has determined in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound to you, that you, always having all sufficiency in everything, may abound to every good work. As it is written,

“He has scattered abroad. He has given to the poor.
    His righteousness remains forever.”Psalm 112:9

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.
