6

But in the Writings it says, He who puts in only a small number of seeds, will get in the same and he who puts them in from a full hand, will have produce in full measure from them.

7

Let every man do after the purpose of his heart not giving with grief, or by force: for God takes pleasure in a ready giver.

8

And God is able to give you all grace in full measure so that ever having enough of all things, you may be full of every good work:

9

As it is said in the Writings, He has sent out far and wide, he has given to the poor his righteousness is for ever.

10

And he who gives seed for putting into the field and bread for food, will take care of the growth of your seed, at the same time increasing the fruits of your righteousness

11

Your wealth being increased in everything, with a simple mind, causing praise to God through us.

12

For this work of giving not only takes care of the needs of the saints, but is the cause of much praise to God

13

For when, through this work of giving, they see what you are, they give glory to God for the way in which you have given yourselves to the good news of Christ, and for the wealth of your giving to them and to all

14

While their hearts go out to you in love and in prayer for you, because of the great grace of God which is in you.

15

Praise be to God for what he has given, which words have no power to say.
