- Affects the poor (Luke 11:37-41; Acts 2:46, 45)
- Affects tithing, judgment, and love (Luke 11:42; Psalm 85:10; Revelation 15:3)
- Affects yourself (Luke 11:43-44; Numbers 19:16; Acts 6:7)
Luke 11
37 As Jesus was speaking, one of the Pharisees invited him home for a meal. So he went in and took his place at the table. 38 His host was amazed to see that he sat down to eat without first performing the hand-washing ceremony required by Jewish custom. 39 Then the Lord said to him, "You Pharisees are so careful to clean the outside of the cup and the dish, but inside you are filthy—full of greed and wickedness! 40 Fools! Didn't God make the inside as well as the outside? 41 So clean the inside by giving gifts to the poor, and you will be clean all over.
Acts 2:46
46 They worshiped together at the Temple each day, met in homes for the Lord's Supper, and shared their meals with great joy and generosity.
Acts 2:45
45 They sold their property and possessions and shared the money with those in need.
Luke 11:42
42 "What sorrow awaits you Pharisees! For you are careful to tithe even the tiniest income from your herb gardens, but you ignore justice and the love of God. You should tithe, yes, but do not neglect the more important things.
Psalm 85:10
10 Unfailing love and truth have met together. Righteousness and peace have kissed!
Revelation 15:3
Just and true are your ways, O King of the nations.
Luke 11:43-44
43 "What sorrow awaits you Pharisees! For you love to sit in the seats of honor in the synagogues and receive respectful greetings as you walk in the marketplaces. 44 Yes, what sorrow awaits you! For you are like hidden graves in a field. People walk over them without knowing the corruption they are stepping on."
Numbers 19:16
16 And if someone in an open field touches the corpse of someone who was killed with a sword or who died a natural death, or if someone touches a human bone or a grave, that person will be defiled for seven days.
Acts 6:7
7 So God's message continued to spread. The number of believers greatly increased in Jerusalem, and many of the Jewish priests were converted, too.
