Tithing
100 Bible Verses about Tithing (KJV) | StillFaith.com
In the KJV New Testament, tithing isn't commanded for Christians; instead, Jesus mentioned it in the context of correcting the Pharisees (Matthew 23:23, Luke 11:42), while the Apostle Paul emphasized generous, cheerful giving "as he has prospered" (1 Corinthians 16:2, 2 Corinthians 9:7) rather than a strict 10% rule, shifting focus from legalistic requirements to voluntary giving under grace.
Key New Testament Passages on Giving (KJV)
Matthew 23:23: "Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone." (Jesus emphasizes justice, mercy, and faith over just tithing).
Luke 11:42: "But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone." (Similar to Matthew 23:23).
1 Corinthians 9:13: "Know ye not that they which minister about holy things live of the temple? and they which wait at the altar are partakers with the altar?" (Paul discusses supporting ministry).
1 Corinthians 16:2: "Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come." (Instruction for regular, proportional giving).
2 Corinthians 9:7: "Every man according as he purposeth in his heart; so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver." (Focus on joyful, heart-felt giving).
2 Corinthians 8:12: "For if there be first a willing mind, it is accepted according to that a man hath, and not according to that he hath not." (Giving is based on willingness and ability).
Core Principles for Christians
No Strict Command: The New Testament doesn't command a specific 10% tithe for Christians.
Grace & Generosity: Believers are under grace, called to a higher standard of generous, sacrificial, cheerful giving that often exceeds 10%.
Proportionality: Giving should be in proportion to what one has ("as God hath prospered him").
Pure Motives: Giving should stem from love and worship, not compulsion or obligation.
