‏ 2 Corinthians 9:6

Charity Urged

In this section, Paul provides guidance on how to give in a way that pleases God. He explains the blessings that come from generous and cheerful giving, both for the giver and the recipient. Paul also emphasizes that giving glorifies God and demonstrates true faith in the gospel. He concludes with a heartfelt expression of gratitude for God’s greatest gift, Jesus Christ.

v. 6: Paul uses the example of sowing and reaping to encourage generosity. He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully(2 Corinthians 9:6 a). Just as a farmer gets a harvest based on how much seed he plants, those who give generously can expect a greater return in blessings.
