translationNotes
- the one who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and the one who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully - Paul uses image of a farmer sowing to that of the Corinthians giving. As a farmer's harvest is based on how much he sows, so will God's blessings be little or much based on how much the Corinthian church gives. (See: :en:ta:vol1:translate:figs_metaphor)
- for God loves a cheerful giver - God seeks for his people to give willingly and gladly to assist in meeting the needs of their fellow believers everywhere.
