Giving to the needy

Take care not to do your good deeds publicly or before men,
in order to be seen by them;
otherwise you will have no reward [reserved for and awaiting you]
with and from your Father Who is in heaven.

Thus, whenever you give to the poor,
do not blow a trumpet before you,
as the hypocrites in the synagogues
and in the streets like to do,
that they may be recognized and honored and praised by men.
Truly I tell you, they have their reward in full already.

But when you give to charity,
do not let your left hand know
what your right hand is doing,

So that your deeds of charity may be in secret;
and your Father Who sees in secret will reward you openly.
