2 Corinthians 9:5-11
English Standard Version
5 So I thought it necessary to urge the brothers to go on ahead to you and arrange in advance for the (A)gift[a] you have promised, so that it may be ready (B)as a willing gift, (C)not as an exaction.[b]
The Cheerful Giver
6 The point is this: (D)whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully[c] will also reap bountifully. 7 Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, (E)not reluctantly or under compulsion, for (F)God loves a cheerful giver. 8 And (G)God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency[d] in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work. 9 As it is written,
(H)“He has distributed freely, he has given to the poor;
his righteousness endures forever.”
10 He who supplies (I)seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and (J)increase the harvest of your righteousness. 11 (K)You will be enriched in every way to be generous in every way, which (L)through us will produce thanksgiving to God.

15 Now then, (A)consider from this day onward.[a] Before stone was placed upon stone in the temple of the Lord, 16 how did you fare? (B)When[b] one came to a heap of twenty measures, there were but ten. When one came to the wine vat to draw fifty measures, there were but twenty. 17 (C)I struck you and all the products of your toil with blight and with mildew and with hail, (D)yet you did not turn to me, declares the Lord. 18 (E)Consider from this day onward, (F)from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month. Since (G)the day that the foundation of the Lord's temple was laid, (H)consider: 19 (I)Is the seed yet in the barn? Indeed, the vine, the fig tree, the pomegranate, and the olive tree have yielded nothing. But from this day on (J)I will bless you.”
