The Cheerful Giver
6 The point is this: (A)whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully[a] will also reap bountifully. 7 Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, (B)not reluctantly or under compulsion, for (C)God loves a cheerful giver. 8 And (D)God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency[b] in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work. 9 As it is written,
(E)“He has distributed freely, he has given to the poor;
his righteousness endures forever.”

English Standard Version
7 Is it not (A)to share your bread with the hungry
and bring the homeless poor into your house;
when you see the naked, to cover him,
(B)and not to hide yourself from your own flesh?
8 (C)Then shall your light break forth like the dawn,
(D)and your healing shall spring up speedily;
(E)your righteousness shall go before you;
(F)the glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard.
9 Then you shall call, and the Lord will answer;
you shall cry, and he will say, ‘Here I am.’
If you take away (G)the yoke from your midst,
(H)the pointing of the finger, and speaking wickedness,
10 (I)if you pour yourself out for the hungry
and satisfy the desire of the afflicted,
(J)then shall your light rise in the darkness
and your gloom be as the noonday.
11 And the Lord will guide you continually
and satisfy your desire in scorched places
and make your bones strong;
and you shall be (K)like a watered garden,
like a spring of water,
whose waters do not fail.

then your righteousness[a](G) will go before you,
and the glory of the Lord will be your rear guard.(H)

you will cry for help, and he will say: Here am I.
“If you do away with the yoke of oppression,
with the pointing finger(K) and malicious talk,(L)
10 and if you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry
and satisfy the needs of the oppressed,(M)
then your light(N) will rise in the darkness,
and your night will become like the noonday.(O)
11 The Lord will guide(P) you always;
he will satisfy your needs(Q) in a sun-scorched land(R)
and will strengthen(S) your frame.
You will be like a well-watered garden,(T)
like a spring(U) whose waters never fail.
