Sirach 35:10
Print
Honor the Lord generously, and don’t skimp on the early produce you present.
Give glory to God with a good heart: and diminish not the firstfruits of thy hands.
Give to the Most High as he has given to you, just as generously as you can.
With a generous spirit pay homage to the Lord, and do not spare your freewill gifts.
Have a spirit of generosity when you honor the Lord; do not begrudge the firstfruits of your labor.
Be generous when you worship the Lord, and do not stint the first fruits of your hands.
Be generous when you worship the Lord, and do not stint the first fruits of your hands.
Be generous when you worship the Lord, and do not stint the first fruits of your hands.
Be generous when you worship the Lord, and do not skimp the first fruits of your hands.
Give to the Most High as he has given, and as generously as your hand has found.
Give to the Most High as he has given, and as generously as your hand has found.
Give thou to the Highest after his gift [or Give to the Highest after the free gift of him], that is, after the quantity of thy goods, which thou hast of (or from) God; and with good eye make thou the findings of thine hands, that is, with rightful intent, ordain thy good works, to the praising of God and not of man.
