9:6 Showing generosity
6 Also this: the person who plants sparingly will also harvest sparingly, and the person sowing generously will also have a generous harvest. 7 Let each person do what their own heart tells them—not out of sorrow or from pressure, but because God loves those who’re cheerful givers. 8 And God is able to shower generosity onto you all so that you’ll be content having everything you need, thus able to be prolific in doing good to others. 9 As it’s written in the scriptures:[ref]
‘He distributed his gifts and gave to the poor,
now his righteousness will remain to the end of the age.’
10 [ref]Thus God who supplies the seed to the person sowing and supplies our food, will be supplying and multiplying your seeds as you sow in others and will increase the harvest resulting from your righteousness. 11 You will be enriched towards generosity in every way, which will lead us all to give thanks to God. 12 Serving in this kind of ministry meets the needs of the believers, but also leads to plenty of occasions to give thanks to God. 13 In proving yourselves by this ministry, they will honour God as it displays your commitment to the good message of the messiah, and your generosity toward them and towards everyone, 14 and they will wish the best for you all and pray for you because of God’s overflowing goodness to you all. 15 Yes, we thank God for his incredible gift.
