But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully...

And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:.. (As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever... Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness;)... Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God... For the administration of this service not only supplieth the want of the saints, but is abundant also by many thanksgivings unto God; - 2 Corinthians 9:6-12
