6 Here is something to remember. The man who plants a little bit will get only a little from it. The man who plants much will get much from it.
7 Everyone should give what he wants in his heart to give. He should be glad to give it, and should not give it because he was forced to give. God loves a person who gives gladly.
8 God is able to give you even more blessings than you need. In all things you will always have all you need for yourselves, and you will have enough to help all others.
9 The holy writings say, A good man gives away many things. He gives to the poor people. He will always be a good man in the sight of God.
10 God is the one who gives seed to plant and bread to eat. He will give you enough to give away and will make it become more and more. Of the good things you do he will give you a big harvest.
11 You will become rich in every way. And then you will have enough to give plenty to all people. And many people will thank God for your gifts which we will bring them.
12 This gift of money will help to give Gods people what they need. It will also make many people thank God.
