7 Let each one give [thoughtfully and with purpose]
just as he has decided in his heart, not grudgingly or
under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver
[and delights in the one whose heart is in his gift].

Romans 8:34 Amplified Bible (AMP)34 Who is the one who condemns us? Christ Jesus is the One who died [to pay our penalty], and more than that, who was raised [from the dead], and who is at the right hand of God interceding [with the Father] for us. |
Hebrews 7:25 Amplified Bible (AMP)25 Therefore He is able also to save forever (completely, perfectly, for eternity) those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to intercede and intervene on their behalf [with God]. |

27 And He who searches the hearts knows what the
mind of the Spirit is, because the Spirit intercedes
[before God] on behalf of [a]God’s people in
accordance with God’s will.
