2 Corinthians 9:6-9
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 9
6Now I say this: the one who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and the one who sows generously will also reap generously. 7Each one must do just as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. 8And God is able to make all grace overflow to you, so that, always having all sufficiency in everything, you may have an abundance for every good deed;King James Version
Chapter 9
6But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. 7Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. 8And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work: 9As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever.Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 9
6The point is this: The person who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and the person who sows generously will also reap generously. 7Each person should do as he has decided in his heart—not reluctantly or out of compulsion, since God loves a cheerful giver. 8And God is able to make every grace overflow to you, so that in every way, always having everything you need, you may excel in every good work.New Living Translation
Chapter 9
6Remember this — a farmer who plants only a few seeds will get a small crop. But the one who plants generously will get a generous crop. 7You must each decide in your heart how much to give. And don’t give reluctantly or in response to pressure. 'For God loves a person who gives cheerfully.' 8And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others.English Standard Version
