| New Revised Standard (NRS) | New International Version (NIV) |
| 24 Some give freely, yet grow all the richer; others withhold what is due, and only suffer want. | 24 One man gives freely, yet gains even more; another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty. |
| 25 A generous person will be enriched, and one who gives water will get water. | 25 A generous man will prosper; he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed. |
