Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
- 2 Corinthians 9:6-7
For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
- Matthew 6:21
Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the Lord of hosts, “if I will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour out for you a blessing until there is no more need”.
- Malachi 3:10
