Luke 11:41

Give alms of such things as ye have; that is, according to our version, bestow your property, as you have means and opportunity, in deeds of love for Christ's sake, and you will be accepted of him. But we may better render, Give the things within as alms; the things, namely, within the cup and platter. Instead of spending your time in washing their outside, while "within they are full of extortion and excess," see that their contents are made clean by being devoted, in the fear of God, to men's good, and then the outside will be clean also. The cup and platter here represent covetous and rapacious men, whose souls are polluted by unrighteous gain. Let them begin by making their hearts clean, and then they need not be troubled about outward defilements.
