41 But now as for what is inside you-be generous to the poor, and everything will be clean for you.
41 But rather give alms of such things as ye have; and, behold, all things are clean unto you.
41 But give as alms those things that are within, and behold, everything is clean for you.
41 Turn both your pockets and your hearts inside out and give generously to the poor; then your lives will be clean, not just your dishes and your hands.
41 But rather give alms of such things as you have; then indeed all things are clean to you.
41 So clean the inside by giving gifts to the poor, and you will be clean all over.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Luke 11:41
Commentary on Luke 11:37-54
(Read Luke 11:37-54)
We should all look to our hearts, that they may be cleansed and new-created; and while we attend to the great things of the law and of the gospel, we must not neglect the smallest matter God has appointed. When any wait to catch something out of our mouths, that they may insnare us, O Lord, give us thy prudence and thy patience, and disappoint their evil purposes. Furnish us with such meekness and patience that we may glory in reproaches, for Christ's sake, and that thy Holy Spirit may rest upon us.
