As every man [a]wisheth in his heart, so let him give, not (A)[b]grudgingly, or of [c]necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.

And God is able to make all [d]grace to abound toward you, that ye always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound in [e]every good work,

((B)As it is written, He hath sparsed abroad and hath given to the poor: his benevolence remaineth for [f]ever.
