2 Corinthians 9:5-7
New International Reader's Version
5 So I thought I should try to get the brothers to visit you ahead of time. They will finish the plans for the large gift you had promised. Then it will be ready as a gift freely given. It will not be given by force.
Paul’s Advice to Give Freely
6 Here is something to remember. The one who plants only a little will gather only a little.

You shouldn’t give because you are forced to. God loves a cheerful giver.
