1 “Beware of practicing your righteousness before others to be seen by them; otherwise you have no reward from your Father in heaven.
2 So whenever you do tzadakah, do not sound a trumpet before you as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, so that they may be glorified by men. Amen, I tell you, they have their reward in full!
3 But when you do tzadakah, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,
4 so that your tzadakah may be in secret; and your Father, who sees in secret, shall reward you.
5 “When you pray, do not be like the hypocrites; for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners, so that they may be seen by others. Amen, I tell you, they have their reward in full!
