Matthew 6:1-4

Giving to the Poor and Prayer

“Beware of doing your righteousness before men ^ato be noticed by them; otherwise you have no reward with your Father who is in heaven.
2 “Therefore, when you ¹give to the poor, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, so that they ^amay be glorified by men. ^bTruly I say to you, they have their reward in full. 3 But when you ¹give to the poor, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 4 so that your ¹giving will be in secret; and ^ayour Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you.
