tithing in the new testament
Paul indeed having thorn in the flesh in 2 Corinthians 12:7 “By reason of the exceeding greatness of the revelations, that I should not be exalted excessively, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to harass me, that I should not be exalted excessively.” (NHEB) He explains what the thorn in the flesh was in the same verse it was “ a messenger of Satan which harassed him” How was he harassed by this messenger of Satan? He explains in the previous chapter how he was harassed. See below: “Five times from the Jews I received forty stripes minus one.” (2 Corinthians 11:24 NHEB) “Three times I was beaten with rods. Once I was stoned. Three times I suffered shipwreck. I have been a night and a day in the deep. I have been in travels often, perils of rivers, perils of robbers, perils from my countrymen, perils from the Gentiles, perils in the city, perils in the wilderness, perils in the sea, perils among false brothers…” (2 Corinthians 11:25 NHEB).
