5So I thought it necessary to urge the brothers to visit you beforehand and make arrangements for the bountiful gift you had promised. This way, your gift will be prepared generously and not begrudgingly.
6Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously.
7Each one should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not out of regret or compulsion. For God loves a cheerful giver.
8And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things, at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.
9As it is written:
“He has scattered abroad His gifts to the poor;
His righteousness endures forever.”
— 2 Corinthians 9:5-9
