6: But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.

7: Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.

8: 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: (As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever.

10: 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;)

11: Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God.

12: For the administration of this service not only supplieth the want of the saints, but is abundant also by many thanksgivings unto God;

13: 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;

14: And by their prayer for you, which long after you for the exceeding grace of God in you.

15: Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift.
