Hebrews 13:16 But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased. It has been frequently wished by Christians that there were some rule laid down in the Bible fixing the proportion of their property which they ought to contribute to religious uses. This is as if a child should say, "Father, how many times in the day must I come to you with some testimonial of my love? how often will it be necessary to show my affection for you?" The father would of course reply, "Just as often as your feeling prompts you, my child, and no oftener." Just so Christ says to His people, "Look on Me, and see what I have done and suffered for you, and then give Me just what you think I deserve. I do not wish anything forced." (H. G. Salter.) Parallel Verses KJV: But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.WEB: But don't forget to be doing good and sharing, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased. |
