2 Corinthians 9:5-7
Evangelical Heritage Version
5 That is why I considered it necessary to urge the brothers to visit you in advance, and to arrange ahead of time the expression of praise that you previously promised, so that it may be ready as an expression of praise, not of grudging selfishness.
6 This is what I mean: The one who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly. The one who sows generously[a] will also reap generously. 7 Each one should give as he has determined in his heart, not reluctantly or under pressure, for God loves a cheerful giver.
