  • 2 Cor 9:6-9 : 6 Remember this: The one who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and the one who sows generously will also reap generously. 7 Each person should give as they have decided in their 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 in every way, at all times, having all that you need, you may abound in every good work. 9 As it is written: 'He has scattered; he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures forever.' 10 Now the one who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and multiply your seed and increase the harvest of your righteousness. 11 You will be enriched in every way for all generosity, which through us produces thanksgiving to God. 12 For this ministry of service is not only supplying the needs of the saints but is also overflowing in many expressions of thanksgiving to God.
