Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. |
So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver. |
Let each one do just as he has purposed in his heart; not grudgingly or under compulsion; for God loves a cheerful giver. |
Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion; for God loves a cheerful giver. |
Let each one [give] as he has made up his own mind and purposed in his heart, not reluctantly or sorrowfully or under compulsion, for God loves (He takes pleasure in, prizes above other things, and is unwilling to abandon or to do without) a cheerful (joyous, “prompt to do it”) giver [whose heart is in his giving]. |
Let each one give according as he has purposed in his heart, not out of an annoyed and troubled heart, nor because of necessity, for God loves a cheerful, ready giver. |
Let everyone give as his heart tells him, neither grudgingly nor under compulsion, for God loves the man who gives cheerfully. |
Each must give what he has purposed in his heart to give, not sorrowfully or under compulsion, for it is the happy giver that God loves. |
