Luke 11:41-43

Contemporary English Version

⁴¹ If you would only give what you have to the poor, everything you do would please God.

^42 (A) You Pharisees are in for trouble! You give God a tenth of the spices from your gardens, such as mint and rue. But you cheat people, and you don't love God. You should be fair and kind to others and still give a tenth to God.

⁴³ You Pharisees are in for trouble! You love the front seats in the synagogues, and you like to be greeted with honor in the market.
