But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also
sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap
also bountifully. Every man according as he purposeth
in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity,
for God loveth a cheerful giver. And God is able to
make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having
all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every
good work: (As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad;
he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth
for ever. Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both
minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed
sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness;)
Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness,
which causeth through us thanksgiving to God
(2 Corinthians 9:6-11).
The Amplified Bible says it this way:
And God is able to make all grace (every favor and
earthly blessing) come to you in abundance, so that you
may always and under all circumstances and whatever
the need, be self-sufficient—possessing enough to
require no aid or support and furnished in abundance
for every good work and charitable donation….And
[God] Who provides seed for the sower and bread for
eating will also provide and multiply your [resources
for] sowing, and increase the fruits of your righteousness….
Thus you will be enriched in all things and in
every way, so that you can be generous, [and your generosity
as it is] administered by us will bring forth thanksgiving
to God (verses 8, 10-11).
As you give cheerfully and generously, God will cause every
blessing to come to you. He wants you to be able to give to others,
to help meet their needs; therefore, He will multiply your
resources for giving. This is the way God’s system works!
