24 jOne gives kfreely, yet grows all the richer;
another withholds what he should give, and only suffers want.
25 lWhoever brings blessing mwill be enriched,
and none who waters will himself be watered.
9 aWhoever has a bountiful1 eye will be blessed,
for he bshares his bread with the poor.
7 zDo not be deceived: God is not mocked, for awhatever one sows, that will he also reap.
9 And elet us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, fif we do not give up.
10 aBring the full tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. And thereby bput me to the test, says the Lord of hosts, if I will not open cthe windows of heaven for you and pour down for you a blessing until there is no more need.
38 kgive, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put linto your lap. For mwith the measure you use it will be measured back to you.”
