Proverbs 11:25 - A generous man will prosper

NIV A generous man will prosper;
he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed.
KJV The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself.
NASB The generous man will be prosperous,
And he who waters will himself be watered.
Proverbs 11:25

Commentary

These proverbs (11:24-27) should shape our attitudes toward wealth: it should be shared. Stinginess may lead to poverty. Generosity has the opposite effect.
