But this [I say], He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully (9:6) Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, [so let him give]; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver (9:7) And 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: (9:8) (As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever (9:9) Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for [your] food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness;) (9:10) Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God (9:11) For the administration of this service not only supplieth the want of the saints, but is abundant also by many thanksgivings unto God; (9:12) Whiles by the experiment of this ministration they glorify God for your professed subjection unto the gospel of Christ, and for [your] liberal distribution unto them, and unto all [men]; (9:13) And by their prayer for you, which long after you for the exceeding grace of God in you (9:14) Thanks [be] unto God for his unspeakable gift
(9:15)
