2 Corinthians 9:5-7

Revised Geneva Translation

⁵ Therefore, I thought it necessary to exhort the brothers to come to you beforehand, and to finish your previously-promised blessing, that it might be ready, and be received as a blessing, not with greed.

⁶ But remember this: whoever sows sparingly, shall also reap sparingly. And whoever sows liberally, shall also reap liberally.

⁷ As everyone purposes in his heart, so let him give, not grudgingly or of necessity. For God loves a cheerful giver.
