2 Corinthians 9:5-9 Therefore, I thought it necessary to urge these brethren, that they would go on ahead to you, and arrange beforehand your generous gift, which you promised, that it might be ready, as a willing gift, and not as one grudgingly given.

RKJNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁵ Therefore, I thought it necessary to urge these brethren, that they would go on ahead to you, and arrange beforehand your generous gift, which you promised, that it might be ready, as a willing gift, and not as one grudgingly given. ⁶ Now this I say, He who sows sparingly shall also reap sparingly; and he who sows bountifully shall also reap bountifully. ⁷ Every man must do as he has decided in his heart; not grudgingly, or under compulsion: for God loves a cheerful giver. ⁸ And God is able to make all grace abound to you; that you, always having enough in all things, may abound in every good work. ⁹ As it is written, He has scattered abroad; he has given to the poor: his righteousness endures forever.
