6 Revised Standard Version Passage New Testament in Greek (UBS.Ed.26)

6 1"Beware of practicing your piety before men in order to be seen by them; for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven.Teaching about Almsgiving Mt.6.1-4 (Galilee)Προσέχετε δὲ τὴν δικαιοσύνην ὑμῶν μὴ ποιεῖν ἐμπροσθεν τῶν ἀνθρώπων πρὸς τὸ θεαθῆναι αὐτοῖς· εἰ δὲ μή γε, μισθὸν οὐκ ἐχετε παρὰ τῷ πατρὶ ὑμῶν τῷ ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς.
2"Thus, when you give alms, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be praised by men. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. Ὁταν οὖν ποιῇς ἐλεημοσύνην, μὴ σαλπίσῃς ἐμπροσθέν σου, ὡσπερ οἱ ὑποκριταὶ ποιοῦσιν ἐν ταῖς συναγωγαῖς καὶ ἐν ταῖς ῥύμαις, ὁπως δοξασθῶσιν ὑπὸ τῶν ἀνθρώπων· ἀμὴν λέγ ω ὑμῖν, ἀπέχουσιν τὸν μισθον αὐτῶν.
3But when you give alms, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, σοῦ δὲ ποιοῦντος ἐλεημοσύνην μὴ γνώτω ἡ ἀριστερά σου τί ποιεῖ ἡ δεξιά σου,
4so that your alms may be in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you. ὁπως ᾖ σου ἡ ἐλεημοσύνη ἐν τῷ κρυπτῷ· καὶ ὁ πατήρ σου ὁ βλέπων ἐν τῷ κρυπτῷ ἀποδώσει σοι.
