Contemporary English Version
Luke 11:40-42
Contemporary English Version
40 You fools! Didn't God make both the outside and the inside?[a] 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.
