With every gift show a cheerful face, and dedicate your tithe with gladness.
10
Give to the Most High as he has given, and as generously as your hand has found.
11
For the Lord is the one who repays, and he will repay you sevenfold.
12
Do not offer him a bribe, for he will not accept it; and do not trust to an unrighteous sacrifice; for the Lord is the judge, and with him is no partiality.
13
He will not show partiality in the case of a poor man; and he will listen to the prayer of one who is wronged.
