2 Corinthians 9:6

Compare all

4 lest if some Macedonians come with me and find you unprepared, we (not to mention you!) should be ashamed of this¹ confident boasting.

5 Therefore I thought it necessary to¹ exhort the brethren to go to you ahead of time, and prepare your generous gift beforehand, which you had previously promised, that it may be ready as a matter of generosity and not as a² grudging obligation.

The Cheerful Giver

6 ^aBut this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows¹ bountifully will also reap bountifully.

7 So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, ^anot grudgingly or of necessity; for ^bGod loves a cheerful giver.

8 ^aAnd God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work.

II Corinthians 9:6:

And that is why Paul gives it as a living principle in II Corinthians 9:6: "But this I say, he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully," which includes, and very importantly includes, our service. We have seen this principle at work in people's lives, not only in the world but especially in the church. This living principle implies that if we are stingy with God, He is going to withhold blessings from us, whether in our character or our prayers or our growing, our overcoming, our studying, our thinking, our finances. The whole lifestyle that we have must be a serving one.

II Corinthians 9:6-10

Brethren, this is the way God works within all of His creative efforts. His way of life is one of giving and producing more as opposed to the get-whatever-one-wants-at-the-expense-of-others in Satan's zero-sum system.
