Honor theLordwith your wealth and with the firstfruits of all your produce.

Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.—On the first day of every week, each of you is to put something aside and store it up, as he may prosper.

For God is not so unjust as to overlook your work and the love that you showed for his sake in serving the saints, as you still do.

I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to pre-sent your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.—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.—So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.
