Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them; otherwise yehave no reward of your Father which is in Heaven. Therefore when thou doestthine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the streets,that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which Seth in secret himself shallreward thee openly.Matthew 6:1–4
