The
point is this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever
sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. Each one must give as he has
decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a
cheerful giver. 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.
As it is written,
“He has distributed freely, he has given to the poor;
his righteousness endures forever.”
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. You will
be enriched in every way to be generous in every way, which through us will
produce thanksgiving to God
We are urged to give and encouraged as we
benefit from giving from our hearts.
