2 When, therefore, thou art doing alms, sound not a trumpet before thee, as do the assumers of faces in the assemblies and streets, so that they may be praised from men; and, Amen I say to you, they receive their reward.

3 But thou, when thou art doing thy alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth,

4 that thine alms may be in secret; and thy Father, who seeth in secret, shall recompense thee in openness.
