2 Corinthians 9:4-6

New American Standard Bible

⁴ otherwise, if any ^(A)Macedonians come with me and find you unprepared, we—not to mention you—would be put to shame by this confidence. ⁵ So I considered it necessary to urge the ^(B)brothers that they go on ahead to you and arrange in advance your previously promised ^[a](C)generous gift, that the same would be ready as a ^[b](D)generous gift, and not as one grudgingly given due to greediness.

⁶ Now I say this: ^(E)the one who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and the one who sows ^[c]generously will also reap ^[d]generously.
