2 Corinthians 9:6-9
9:6 a Paul turns to agriculture for an illustration of the benefits of generosity. A farmer who expects a rich harvest must sow many seeds.9:7 b It is the spirit of giving that counts, “For God loves a person who gives cheerfully.” Cheerfulness in giving is contrasted with giving reluctantly (literally out of sorrow) or in response to pressure.
