“But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.”

“Remember this: he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly. He who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.”

“Now this I say: He who soweth sparingly shall also reap sparingly: and he who soweth in blessings shall also reap blessings.”
“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.”

Now I have sent the brothers, so that what we glory about concerning you might not be empty in this matter, in order that (as I have explained) you may be prepared.
Otherwise, if the Macedonians arrive with me and find you unprepared, we (not to mention you) would be ashamed in this matter.
Therefore, I considered it necessary to ask the brothers to go to you in advance and to prepare this blessing as promised, and in this way, you may be ready as a blessing, not as an excess.
But I say this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly. And whoever sows with blessings shall also reap from blessings:
each one giving, just as he has determined in his heart, neither out of sadness, nor out of obligation. For God loves a cheerful giver.
And God is able to make every grace abound in you, so that, always having what you need in all things, you may abound unto every good work,
just as it was written: “He has distributed widely, he has given to the poor; his justice remains from age to age.”
