6The one who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and the one who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.7Each one as he has chosen in his heart, not out of grief or out of necessity, for God loves a cheerful giver.8And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, so that in all things at all times having all self-sufficiency you may abound toward every good work.9As it is written, he has scattered and given to the poor; his righteousness remains toward the age.10Now the one who supplies seed to the one who sows and bread for eating will supply and multiply your seed and will increase the produce of your righteousness.11Being enriched in every way for all generosity, which through us produces thanksgiving to God.12For the ministry of this service is not only supplying the needs of the saints but also overflowing through many thanksgivings to God.13Through the test of this service they glorify God upon the submission of your confession toward the gospel of Christ and in openness of the participation toward them and toward all.14And in their petition for you they long for you through the surpassing grace of God upon you.15Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!
