The complete KJV guide to tithes, offerings, and cheerful giving
What the Bible says about tithing
The tithe — a tenth — appears before the law, in it, and after it. Abraham gave a tenth to Melchizedek and Jacob vowed one at Bethel, both before Sinai. Leviticus and Deuteronomy regulate it, and Malachi 3:10 issues the famous challenge to bring the whole tithe into the storehouse and prove God. The KJV treats giving as a settled practice of God's people across every era.
Tithe and offering in the New Testament
Jesus affirms tithing while rebuking those who tithe mint and cumin yet omit judgment, mercy and faith (Matthew 23:23) — 'these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.' Paul then teaches proportional, planned, cheerful giving: as God has prospered him, laid by in store, 'not grudgingly, or of necessity' (2 Corinthians 9:7). Christians differ on whether ten percent is a floor or a guideline; Scripture is unambiguous that regular, generous giving is expected.
Giving when money is tight
The Bible's most praised givers were poor. The widow's two mites are commended above large gifts because of what remained after; the Macedonian churches gave out of 'deep poverty' with abundant joy. 2 Corinthians 8:12 sets the standard as willingness 'according to that a man hath, and not according to that he hath not' — a verse that relieves a great deal of unnecessary guilt.
How to use this page
Read Malachi 3:8-12 and 2 Corinthians 9:6-8 side by side. Decide a fixed proportion rather than giving from whatever is left. Set it aside first, on a set day, as 1 Corinthians 16:2 describes. Give one gift cheerfully this month without being asked. Then follow the related links to generosity, money, stewardship, and provision.
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
— John 3:16 (KJV)
