Luke 11:39-41 ▼

39 But the Lord said to him, “Now you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and plate [as required by tradition]; but inside you are full of greed and wickedness.

40 You foolish ones [acting without reflection or intelligence]! Did not He who made the outside make the inside also?

41 But give that which is within as charity [that is, acts of mercy and compassion, not as a public display, but as an expression of your faithfulness to God], and then indeed all things are clean for you.
