Löydetty 28 Tulokset: Tithe

  • Woe upon you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites that will award to God his tithe, though it be of mint or dill or cummin, and have forgotten the weightier commandments of the law, justice, mercy, and honour; you did ill to forget one duty while you performed the other; (Matthew 23, 23)

  • Woe upon you, you Pharisees, that will award God his tithe, though it be of mint or rue or whatever herb you will, and leave on one side justice and the love of God; you do ill to forget one duty while you perform the other. (Luke 11, 42)

  • In the one case, the priests who receive tithe are only mortal men; in the other, it is a priest (so the record tells us) who lives on. (Hebrews 7, 8)

  • And indeed, there is a sense in which we can say that Levi, who receives the tithe, paid tithe himself with Abraham; (Hebrews 7, 9)


“Não queremos aceitar o fato de que o sofrimento é necessário para nossa alma e de que a cruz deve ser o nosso pão cotidiano. Assim como o corpo precisa ser nutrido, também a alma precisa da cruz, dia a dia, para purificá-la e desapegá-la das coisas terrenas. Não queremos entender que Deus não quer e não pode salvar-nos nem santificar-nos sem a cruz. Quanto mais Ele chama uma alma a Si, mais a santifica por meio da cruz.” São Padre Pio de Pietrelcina
