katapi HOME Matthew 6:1-4 - Teaching about Almsgiving  Mt.6.1-4 (Galilee)

6 1 'BE CAREFUL not to make a show of your religion before men; if you do, no reward awaits you in your Father's house in heaven.

6 2 'Thus, when you do some act of charity, do not announce it with a flourish of trumpets, as the hypocrites do in synagogue and in the streets to win admiration from men. I tell you this: they have their reward already. 6 3 No; when you do some act of charity, do not let your left hand know what your right is doing; 6 4 your good deed must be secret, and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you. Some winesses add: openly.
