Inevitably, when talking about the blessings that come from paying tithing, a speaker will quote the following scripture:
Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings. Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this [...]

The Lord, when talking about who is required to pay tithing, speaks of three groups of people. Those who already are in the land of Zion, those who are gathering to the land of Zion and those who are in the stakes of Zion:
“…my church in Zion.” (D&C 119: 1)

Jesus taught to give alms to the poor anonymously:
