Honour the LORD with thy substance ...
Honor the LORD with your wealth and with the firstfruits of all your produce; 1
The point is this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. 2
On the first day of every week, each of you is to put something aside and store it up, as he may prosper, so that there will be no collecting when I come. 3
For God is not unjust so as to overlook your work and the love that you have shown for his name in serving the saints, as you still do. 4
I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. 5
For the love of Christ controls us, because we have concluded this: that one has died for all, therefore all have died; and he died for all, that those who live might no longer live for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was raised. 6
So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. 7
