7Let every man do after the purpose of his heart; not giving with grief, or by force: for God takes pleasure in a ready giver.
8And 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:
9As it is said in the Writings, He has sent out far and wide, he has given to the poor; his righteousness is for ever.
10And 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;
11Your wealth being increased in everything, with a simple mind, causing praise to God through us.
12For this work of giving not only takes care of the needs of the saints, but is the cause of much praise to God;
13For 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;
