2 Corinthians 9:5-7

Good News Translation

⁵ So I thought it was necessary to urge these believers to go to you ahead of me and get ready in advance the gift you promised to make. Then it will be ready when I arrive, and it will show that you give because you want to, not because you have to.

⁶ Remember that the person who plants few seeds will have a small crop; the one who plants many seeds will have a large crop. ^7 (A)You should each give, then, as you have decided, not with regret or out of a sense of duty; for God loves the one who gives gladly.
