1 “And take care not to practice your righteousness before people to be seen by them; otherwise you have no reward from your Father who is in heaven.
2 Therefore whenever you practice charitable giving, do not sound a trumpet in front of you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, in order that they may be praised by people. Truly I say to you, they have received their reward in full!
3 But you, when you practice charitable giving, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,
4 in order that your charitable giving may be in secret, and your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
