What does the Bible say about tithing in the New Covenant?

Answered in 2 sources

In the New Covenant, believers are encouraged to give generously and cheerfully, rather than adhering to a legalistic requirement of tithing.

The New Covenant shifts the focus from legalistic tithing, as outlined in the Old Covenant, to a principle of generous and joyful giving as seen in 2 Corinthians 9:6-8. The emphasis is not on a fixed percentage, like the Old Testament tithe, but on giving what one has decided in their heart. This generosity is motivated by the grace of God and the blessings received through the gospel, affirming that God loves a cheerful giver.
