New testament verses on tithing

Here are some New Testament verses related to tithing:

  1. Matthew 23:23: "Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a tenth of your spices—mint, dill and cummin. But you have neglected the more important matters of the law—justice, mercy and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter without neglecting the former."
  2. Luke 11:42: "But woe to you Pharisees! You give God a tenth of your mint leaves, of your anise, and of your cummin, and you neglect justice and love for God's approval. You should have practiced the latter without neglecting the former."
  3. Hebrews 7:1-10: This passage discusses the priesthood of Melchizedek and how Jesus is the greater priest. It also mentions that Abraham gave a tenth of his spoils to Melchizedek, which is seen as a type of tithing.
  4. 1 Corinthians 9:9-10: "For it is written in the Law of Moses: 'Do not muzzle an ox while it is treading out the grain.' Is it not written: 'The ox that treads out the grain should not be muzzled'? God is not concerned with oxen, is he? Or is he actually saying it for our benefit? No! That which is good for the oxen is also good for us to whom the word of God has been spoken."
  5. Deuteronomy 14:22-27 (quoted in 1 Corinthians 9:13-14): "Be sure to set aside a tenth of all that your fields produce each year. Eat the tithe of your grain, new wine and olive oil, and the firstborn of your flocks and herds, so that you may learn to revere the Lord your God always. But if there are too few years in the land or a grape harvest fails, or if the grape harvest is poor, you may eat what they have set aside for you, as well as what is left over. You are to eat it in the presence of the Lord your God, year after year, in the place the Lord will choose. And you are to rejoice before the Lord your God, you and your children, your male and female servants, and the Levites who live in your towns, since all the bounty from your hand will then be yours to give."

It's important to note that while these verses mention tithing, they do not necessarily apply the same rules and regulations as the Old Testament. The New Testament emphasizes giving generously and sacrificially, rather than simply following a specific percentage or formula.
