2 Corinthians 9:7 in Context — 2 Corinthians 9
5 J’ai donc jugé nécessaire d’inviter les frères à se rendre auparavant chez vous, et à s’occuper de votre libéralité déjà promise, afin qu’elle soit prête, de manière à être une libéralité, et non un acte d’avarice.
6 Sachez-le, celui qui sème peu moissonnera peu, et celui qui sème abondamment moissonnera abondamment.
7 Que chacun donne comme il l’a résolu en son cœur, sans tristesse ni contrainte; car Dieu aime celui qui donne avec joie.
8 Et Dieu peut vous combler de toutes sortes de grâces, afin que, possédant toujours en toutes choses de quoi satisfaire à tous vos besoins, vous ayez encore en abondance pour toute bonne œuvre,
9 selon qu’il est écrit: Il a fait des largesses, il a donné aux indigents; Sa justice subsiste à jamais.
