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.
