There was not need to remind the believers of what was common knowledge and was commonly practiced by them.
Actually the teaching was endorsed in the Book of Hebrews, of course those who like to twist the scriptures twist it to mean that Paul was preaching against tithing, when in reality in Hebrews he was reaffirming the tithe.
Those twisters of the Scriptures twist the scriptures to their own destruction.

Oh ok. NOW I'm convinced.
Actually the only tithing before the Law was Abraham to Melchizedek and a cross reference of Gen 14 w/ Hebrews 7 shoe it was not even of Abraham's personal possessions and wealth but of the spoils of war.
I'm interested to know how YOU sir twist the scriptures to tell people under your care that that means they have to tithe money under the covenant of grace or be cursed for robbing God.
