A gift opens the way
and ushers the giver into the presence of the great.

A man’s gift makes room for him
and brings him before the great.

Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.

Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
