2 Corinthians 9:6
King James VersionSource notes
“But this He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.”
Context
3Yet have I sent the brethren, lest our boasting of you should be in vain in this behalf; that, as I said, ye may be ready:
4Lest haply if they of Macedonia come with me, and find you unprepared, we (that we say not, ye) should be ashamed in this same confident boasting.
5Therefore I thought it necessary to exhort the brethren, that they would go before unto you, and make up beforehand your bounty, whereof ye had notice before, that the same might be ready, as bounty, and not as covetousness.
6But this He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.
7Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.
8And God able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all 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.
