Bible verses about "tithing" | Noyes

³⁵ In all ways I showed you that so laboring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that he himself said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.

⁷ Render to all what is due to them; tribute, to whom tribute is due; custom, to whom custom; fear, to whom fear; honor, to whom honor.

¹ For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him, ² to whom also Abraham apportioned a tenth part of all, who by interpretation is first King of righteousness, and then also was King of Salem, which is, King of peace, ³ without father, without mother, without record of descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life, but likened to the Son of God, remaineth a priest for ever. ⁴ Consider now how great this man was, to whom even Abraham the patriarch gave a tenth of the spoils. ⁵ And those indeed of the sons of Levi who receive the office of the priesthood have a command to take tithes of the people by the Law, that is, of their brethren, though they have come out of the loins of Abraham; ⁶ but he whose descent is not reckoned from them took tithes of Abraham, and blessed him who had the promises. ⁷ And beyond all contradiction the less is blessed by the greater. ⁸ And here indeed men that die receive tithes; but there he of whom it is testified that he liveth. ⁹ And so to speak, Levi also, who receiveth tithes, paid tithes in Abraham; ¹⁰ for he was yet in the loins of his father when Melchizedek met him. ¹¹ If indeed perfection had been by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people hath received the Law,) what further need was there that a different priest should arise after the order of Melchizedek, and not be called alter the order of Aaron? ¹² For if the priesthood is changed, there takes place of necessity a change of the law. ¹³ For he of whom these things are spoken belonged to another tribe, of which no one hath given attendance at the altar; ¹⁴ for it is wellknown that our Lord sprang out of Judah, in regard to which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priests. ¹⁵ And it is still more abundantly evident, if after the likeness of Melchizedek there ariseth a different priest, ¹⁶ who hath been made, not according to the law of a fleshly commandment, but according to the power of an indissoluble life. ¹⁷ For it is testified of him, "Thou art a priest for ever, after the order of Melchizedek." ¹⁸ For on the one hand there takes place an annulling of the commandment which went before, on account of its weakness and unprofitableness, ¹⁹ for the Law perfected nothing,and on the other, the bringing in of a better hope, by which we draw near to God. ²⁰ And inasmuch as it was not without an oath that he was made priest, ²¹ for they indeed have been made priests without an oath; but he with an oath by him who said to him, "The Lord swore, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever," ²² by so much hath Jesus become the surety of a better covenant. ²³ And they indeed have been many priests, because they have been prevented from continuing by reason of death; ²⁴ but he, because he abideth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood; ²⁵ wherefore he is able also to save to the utmost those who come to God through him, since he ever liveth to make intercession for them. ²⁶ For such a highpriest also became us, holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens; ²⁷ who hath not necessity daily, as the highpriests, to offer up sacrifice first for his own sins, and then for those of the people; for this he did once for all, when he offered up himself. ²⁸ For the Law maketh men highpriests, who have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was after the Law, maketh the Son, who is perfected for ever.

²³ Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithes of the mint, and the dill, and the cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the Law, justice, and mercy, and faith; these ought ye to have done, and not to leave those undone.

¹ But take heed that ye do not your righteousness before men, to be seen by them; otherwise ye have no reward with your Father who is in heaven. ² Therefore when thou doest alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Truly do I say to you, They have received their reward. ³ But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth; ⁴ that thine alms may be in secret; and thy Father, who seeth in secret, will reward thee.

⁴² But woe to you Pharisees! for ye pay tithes of the mint, and the rue, and every herb; and pass by justice and the love of God. These ought ye to have done, and not to leave those undone.

³⁸ give, and it will be given to you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will men give into your bosom; for with what measure ye mete, it will be measured to you in return.

⁴¹ And he sat over against the treasury, and was beholding how the people cast money into the treasury. And many that were rich were casting in much. ⁴² And a certain poor widow came and threw in two mites, which make a farthing. ⁴³ And he called to him his disciples, and said to them, Truly do I say to you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than all those who are casting into the treasury. ⁴⁴ For they all threw in of their abundance; but she out of her penury threw in all that she had, her whole living.

⁶ But this there is to say: He that soweth sparingly, shall reap also sparingly; and he that soweth bountifully, shall reap also bountifully. ⁷ Each one, as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity; for God loveth a cheerful giver. ⁸ And God is able to make every blessing abound toward you, that ye, always having all sufficiency in everything, may abound to every good work;
