2 Corinthians 9:5-9

[5] Therefore  I thought  it necessary  to exhort  the brethren,  that  they would go before  unto  and  make up beforehand  bounty,  ready,  as  a matter of bounty,  and  not  of covetousness.  [6] But  I say, He which soweth  sparingly  shall reap  also  sparingly;  and  he which soweth  bountifully  shall reap  also  bountifully.  [7] Every man  according as  he purposeth  in his heart,  so let him give; not  grudgingly,  or  of  necessity:  for  God  loveth  a cheerful  giver.  [8] And  God  all  grace  abound  toward  that  ye, always  having  all  sufficiency  in  all  things, 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.
