Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.
Ver. 7. According as he purposeth] God straineth upon none. See Leviticus 5:6; Leviticus 5:12; Leviticus 14:10; Leviticus 14:21; Leviticus 14:30. Liberality implieth liberty.
God loveth a cheerful giver] Dat bene, dat multum, qui dat cum munere vultum. One may give with his hand, and pull it back with his looks.
