6 The point is this: whoever sows sparingly will also
reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap
bountifully. 7 Each one must give as he has decided in
his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a
cheerful giver. 8 And God is able to make all grace
abound to you, so that having all sufficiency in all things at all
times, you may abound in every good work. 9 As it is
written, “He has distributed freely, he has given to the poor; his
righteousness endures forever.”
10 He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food
will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the
harvest of your righteousness. 11 You will be enriched
in every way to be generous in every way, which through us will
produce thanksgiving to God. 12 For the ministry of this
service is not only supplying the needs of the saints but is also
overflowing in many thanksgivings to God. 13 By their
approval of this service, they will glorify God because of your
submission that comes from your confession of the gospel of Christ,
and the generosity of your contribution for them and for all
others, 14 while they long for you and pray for you,
because of the surpassing grace of God upon you. 15
Thanks be to God for His inexpressible gift.
