Remember this: if you sow sparingly, you will reap sparingly, and if you sow generously, you will reap generously as well. | Now I say this: the one who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and the one who sows generously will also reap generously. |
Each person should give as much as he has decided in his heart, not with reluctance or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. | Each one must do just as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. |

And God is able to enrich you with an abundance of every grace, so that, with all of your needs provided for, you may be able to produce a surplus of good works. | And God is able to make all grace overflow to you, so that, always having all sufficiency in everything, you may have an abundance for every good deed. |
The one who provides seed for sowing and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed and increase the harvest of your righteousness. | Now He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your righteousness. |
Enriched in every way, you will be able to practice all your acts of generosity, which, through our intervention, will result in thanksgiving to God. | You will be enriched in everything for all liberality, which through us is producing thanksgiving to God. |
