Each of you should give what you have decided in your hear to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. As it is written: "They have freely scattered their gifts to the poor; their righteousness endures forever." Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase you store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness. You will be enriched in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion. and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God.
