11
With every gift show a cheerful face, and dedicate your tithe with gladness.
12
Give to the Most High as he has given to you, and as generously as you can afford.
13
For the Lord is the one who repays, and he will repay you sevenfold.
14
Do not offer him a bribe, for he will not accept it;
15
and do not rely on a dishonest sacrifice; for the Lord is the judge, and with him there is no partiality.
