Motive

The word "motive" came up in two of our church's Bible readings yesterday. Turns out the word appears six times (at least in the NIV).

I Chronicles 28:9

Proverbs 16:2

but motives are weighed by the LORD.



I Corinthians 4:5

Philippians 1:18

I Thessalonians 2:3

James 4:3

3When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.
