Then Jacob made a vow, saying, "If God will be with me and will watch over me on this journey I am taking and will give me food to eat and clothes to wear
so that I return safely to my father's household, then the Lord will be my God
and this stone that I have set up as a pillar will be God's house, and of all that you give me I will give you a tenth."
雅各許願說:「神若與我同在,在我所行的路上保佑我,又給我食物吃,衣服穿,
使我平平安安的回到我父親的家,我就必以耶和華為我的神。
我所立為柱子的石頭也必作神的殿;凡你所賜給我的,我必將十分之一獻給你。」
瑪拉基書 3:10
Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this," says the Lord Almighty, "and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it.

馬可福音 12:41
- 44
Jesus sat down opposite the place where the offerings were put and watched the crowd putting their money into the temple treasury. Many rich people threw in large amounts.
But a poor widow came and put in two very small copper coins, worth only a few cents.
Calling his disciples to him, Jesus said, "Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put more into the treasury than all the others.
They all gave out of their wealth; but she, out of her poverty, put in everything-all she had to live on."
耶穌對銀庫坐著,看眾人怎樣投錢入庫。有好些財主往裡投了若干的錢。
有一個窮寡婦來,往裡投了兩個小錢,就是一個大錢。
耶穌叫門徒來,說:「我實在告訴你們,這窮寡婦投入庫裡的,比眾人所投的更多。
因為,他們都是自己有餘,拿出來投在裡頭;但這寡婦是自己不足,把他一切養生的都投上了。」
哥林多後書 9:7
Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
各人要隨本心所酌定的,不要作難,不要勉強,因為捐得樂意的人是神所喜愛的。
使徒行傳 20:35
In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: 'It is more blessed to give than to receive.' "
我凡事給你們作榜樣,叫你們知道應當這樣勞苦,扶助軟弱的人,又當記念主耶穌的話,說:『施比受更為有福。』」

"Will a mere mortal rob God? Yet you rob me. "But you ask, 'How are we robbing you?' "In tithes and offerings.
You are under a curse-your whole nation-because you are robbing me.
Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this," says the Lord Almighty, "and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it.
I will prevent pests from devouring your crops, and the vines in your fields will not drop their fruit before it is ripe," says the Lord Almighty.
"Then all the nations will call you blessed, for yours will be a delightful land," says the Lord Almighty.
人豈可奪取神之物呢?你們竟奪取我的供物。你們卻說:『我們在何事上奪取你的供物呢?』就是你們在當納的十分之一和當獻的供物上。
因你們通國的人都奪取我的供物,咒詛就臨到你們身上。
萬軍之耶和華說:你們要將當納的十分之一全然送入倉庫,使我家有糧,以此試試我,是否為你們敞開天上的窗戶,傾福與你們,甚至無處可容。
萬軍之耶和華說:我必為你們斥責蝗蟲(原文作吞噬者),不容他毀壞你們的土產。你們田間的葡萄樹在未熟之先也不掉果子。
萬軍之耶和華說:萬國必稱你們為有福的,因你們的地必成為喜樂之地。」
路加福音 6:38
Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."
你們要給人,就必有給你們的,並且用十足的升斗,連搖帶按,上尖下流的倒在你們懷裡;因為你們用什麼量器量給人,也必用什麼量器量給你們。」
瑪拉基書 3:8
"Will a mere mortal rob God? Yet you rob me. "But you ask, 'How are we robbing you?' "In tithes and offerings.

Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you."
你們存心不可貪愛錢財,要以自己所有的為足;因為主曾說:『我總不撇下你,也不丟棄你。』

then your barns will be filled to overflowing, and your vats will brim over with new wine.

馬太福音 6:1
- 4
"Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.
"So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full.
But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,
so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
「你們要小心,不可將善事行在人的面前,故意叫他們看見,若是這樣,就不能得你們天父的賞賜了。
所以,你施捨的時候,不可在你前面吹號,像那假冒為善的人在會堂裡和街道上所行的,故意要得人的榮耀。我實在告訴你們,他們已經得了他們的賞賜。
你施捨的時候,不要叫左手知道右手所做的,
要叫你施捨的事行在暗中。你父在暗中察看,必然報答你(有古卷:必在明處報答你)。」
路加福音 21:1
- 4
As Jesus looked up, he saw the rich putting their gifts into the temple treasury.
He also saw a poor widow put in two very small copper coins.
"Truly I tell you," he said, "this poor widow has put in more than all the others.
All these people gave their gifts out of their wealth; but she out of her poverty put in all she had to live on."
耶穌抬頭觀看,見財主把捐項投在庫裡,
又見一個窮寡婦投了兩個小錢,
就說:「我實在告訴你們,這窮寡婦所投的比眾人還多;
因為眾人都是自己有餘,拿出來投在捐項裡,但這寡婦是自己不足,把他一切養生的都投上了。」
哥林多前書 6:19
- 20
Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own;
you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.
豈不知你們的身子就是聖靈的殿嗎?這聖靈是從神而來,住在你們裡頭的;並且你們不是自己的人;
因為你們是重價買來的。所以,要在你們的身子上榮耀神。
利未記 27:30
- 33
" 'A tithe of everything from the land, whether grain from the soil or fruit from the trees, belongs to the Lord; it is holy to the Lord.
Whoever would redeem any of their tithe must add a fifth of the value to it.
Every tithe of the herd and flock-every tenth animal that passes under the shepherd's rod-will be holy to the Lord.
No one may pick out the good from the bad or make any substitution. If anyone does make a substitution, both the animal and its substitute become holy and cannot be redeemed.' "
「地上所有的,無論是地上的種子是樹上的果子,十分之一是耶和華的,是歸給耶和華為聖的。
人若要贖這十分之一的什麼物,就要加上五分之一。
凡牛群羊群中,一切從杖下經過的,每第十隻要歸給耶和華為聖。
不可問是好是壞,也不可更換;若定要更換,所更換的與本來的牲畜都要成為聖,不可贖回。」
民數記 18:26
"Speak to the Levites and say to them: 'When you receive from the Israelites the tithe I give you as your inheritance, you must present a tenth of that tithe as the Lord's offering.

要叫你施捨的事行在暗中。你父在暗中察看,必然報答你(有古卷:必在明處報答你)。」
