2 Corinthians 9:10

¹⁰For as the rain comes down and the snow from the sky, and doesn’t return there, but waters the earth, and makes it grow and bud, and gives seed to the sower and bread to the eater;

¹²Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap according to kindness. Break up your fallow ground, for it is time to seek the LORD, until he comes and rains righteousness on you.

⁶Remember this: he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly. He who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.

⁶In the morning sow your seed, and in the evening don’t withhold your hand; for you don’t know which will prosper, whether this or that, or whether they both will be equally good.

¹⁷Not that I seek for the gift, but I seek for the fruit that increases to your account.

¹⁸Wicked people earn deceitful wages, but one who sows righteousness reaps a sure reward.

¹²May the Lord make you to increase and abound in love toward one another and toward all men, even as we also do toward you,

¹¹being filled with the fruits of righteousness which are through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

¹“Be careful that you don’t do your charitable giving^[+] before men, to be seen by them, or else you have no reward from your Father who is in heaven.

¹⁹Why should we die before your eyes, both we and our land? Buy us and our land for bread, and we and our land will be servants to Pharaoh. Give us seed, that we may live, and not die, and that the land won’t be desolate.”
