⁶ Now I say this: ^(A)the one who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and the one who sows ^[a]generously will also reap ^[b]generously. ⁷ Each one must do just as he has decided in his heart, not ^(B)reluctantly or under compulsion, for ^(C)God loves a cheerful giver. ⁸ And ^(D)God is able to make all grace overflow to you, so that, always having all sufficiency in everything, you may have an abundance for every good deed; ⁹ as it is written:

¹⁰ Now He who supplies ^(F)seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and ^(G)increase the harvest of your righteousness; ¹¹ you will be ^(H)enriched in everything for all liberality, which through us is producing ^(I)thanksgiving to God. ¹² For the ministry of this service is not only fully supplying ^(J)the needs of the ^[d]saints, but is also overflowing ^(K)through many thanksgivings to God. ¹³ Because of the proof given by this ^(L)ministry, they will ^(M)glorify God for your obedience to your ^(N)confession of the ^(O)gospel of Christ and for the liberality of your ^[e]contribution to them and to all, ¹⁴ while they also, by prayer on your behalf, yearn for you because of the surpassing grace of God in you. ^15 (P)Thanks be to God for His indescribable ^(Q)gift!
