⁶ this: he who sows sparingly and grudgingly will also reap sparingly and grudgingly, and he who sows generously will also reap generously and with blessings. ⁷ Let each one as he has made up his own mind and purposed in his heart, not reluctantly or sorrowfully or under compulsion, for God loves (He takes pleasure in, prizes above other things, and is unwilling to abandon or to do without) a cheerful (joyous, ``prompt to do it") giver . ⁸ And God is able to make all grace (every favor and earthly blessing) come to you in abundance, so that you may always and under all circumstances and whatever the need be self-sufficient . ⁹ As it is written, He scatters abroad; He gives to the poor; His deeds of justice and goodness and kindness and benevolence will go on and endure forever! ¹⁰ And Who provides seed for the sower and bread for eating will also provide and multiply your sowing and increase the fruits of your righteousness . ¹¹ Thus you will be enriched in all things and in every way, so that you can be generous, and administered by us will bring forth thanksgiving to God. ¹² For the service that the ministering of this fund renders does not only fully supply what is lacking to the saints (God's people), but it also overflows in many thanksgiving to God. ¹³ Because at standing of the test of this ministry, they will glorify God for your loyalty and obedience to the Gospel of Christ which you confess, as well as for your generous-hearted liberality to them and to all . ¹⁴ And they yearn for you while they pray for you, because of the surpassing measure of God's grace (His favor and mercy and spiritual blessing which is shown forth) in you. ¹⁵ Now thanks be to God for His Gift, beyond telling !
