    1Completing the Collection for the Saints Now we make known to you, brothers and sisters, the grace of God given to the churches of Macedonia,

    4begging us with great earnestness for the blessing and fellowship of helping the saints.

    4For if any of the Macedonians should come with me and find that you are not ready to give, we would be humiliated(not to mention you) by this confidence we had in you.

    5Therefore I thought it necessary to urge these brothers to go to you in advance and to arrange ahead of time the generous contribution you had promised, so this may be ready as a generous gift and not as something you feel forced to do.

    6My point is this: The person who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and the person who sows generously will also reap generously.

    7Each one of you should give just as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, because God loves a cheerful giver.

    8And God is able to make all grace overflow to you so that because you have enough of everything in every way at all times, you will overflow in every good work.

    9Just as it is written,“He has scattered widely, he has given to the poor; his righteousness remains forever.”

    10Now God who provides seed for the sower and bread for food will provide and multiply your supply of seed and will cause the harvest of your righteousness to grow.

    11You will be enriched in every way so that you may be generous on every occasion, which is producing through us thanksgiving to God,

    12because the service of this ministry is not only providing for the needs of the saints but is also overflowing with many thanks to God.

    13Through the evidence of this service they will glorify God because of your obedience to your confession in the gospel of Christ and the generosity of your sharing with them and with everyone.
