The passage discusses sowing and reaping. It states that those who sow sparingly will reap sparingly, while those who sow bountifully will reap bountifully. People should give cheerfully, not under compulsion. God can bless believers with abundance so they may do good works. God provides for those who sow seeds and gives to the poor, and his righteousness endures. God will multiply the seeds believers sow and increase their righteous harvest.
