- small coin.
Meaning
A small coin, paired with a drink of water as a gift available to someone with limited means. The narrator says that such a gift, when given from genuine love, pleases God as much as a rich person’s much larger provision. The comparison concerns the worth of charitable intention and faithfulness, not equal market values. It makes the test of neighbour-love practical before the seeker acquires any imagined alchemical fortune.
