Whence do I derive (the same for) even a hundred times? From "Give shall you give."
"to him": between yourself and him, in respect to which they said: There was a "chamber of the secret ones" in Jerusalem, in which the fearers of sin would reposit (charity) secretly, and from which the poor of high pedigree would take secretly.
"for in consequence of this thing" ("davar," similar to "dibbur" ["speech"]): If he said that he would give and he gave, he is rewarded for both the speech and the act. If he said that he would give, but did not get to do so, he is rewarded for the speech. If he did not say that he would give but he told others to give, or if he did not say that he would give and did not tell others to give, but comforted him (the pauper) with kind words — Whence is it derived that he is rewarded for this? From "For in consequence of this thing the L-rd your G-d will bless you in all of your deeds."
