Proverbs 11:24-25

²⁴ There is one who scatters, yet increases more; and there is one who withholds more than is right, But it leads to poverty. ²⁵ The generous soul will be made rich, and he who waters will also be watered himself.

2 Corinthians 9:6-10

⁶ But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. ⁷ So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver. ⁸ And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work. ⁹ As it is written: “He has dispersed abroad, He has given to the poor; His righteousness endures forever.”¹⁰ Now may He who supplies seed to the sower, and bread for food, supply and multiply the seed you have sown and increase the fruits of your righteousness
