Matthew 6:1-4
Giving to the Needy
1“Beware of apracticing your righteousness before other people in order bto be seen by them, for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven.2 c“Thus, when you give to the needy, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may dbe praised by others. Truly, I say to you, they have ereceived their reward. 3But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 4so that your giving may be in secret. fAnd your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
Matthew 23:5
