If you know Jesus you have a treasure inside of you.

To some this will be a fragrance of life to life - to others death to death.

Learn to share when the Holy Spirit is wanting to use you, and stay quiet at other times.

Remember you carry a precious message which brings life to those with an ear to hear.

Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and then turn and tear you to pieces. Mat. 7:6
What does this scripture mean? Thank you

The Didache has it as:

"But let no one eat or drink of your Thanksgiving (Eucharist), but they who have been baptized into the name of the Lord; for concerning this also the Lord has said, Give not that which is holy to the dogs. Matthew 7:6"

Paul also warned against participating in the Eucharist in an unworthy manner:

1Co 11:29 For he who eats and drinks in an unworthy manner eats and drinks judgment to himself, not discerning the Lord’s body.

In one case it's a prohibition against allowing unbaptized people to participate, the other is a baptized Christian who isn't properly prepared.
