Charitable Giving to the Poor and Prayer
1 "Take care not to practice your righteousness in the sight of people, to be noticed by them; otherwise you have no reward with your Father who is in heaven.
2 "So when you 6:2 Lit make a charitable gift give to the poor, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, so that they will be praised by people. Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full.3 But when you 6:3 Lit make a charitable giftgive to the poor, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,4 so that your charitable giving will be in secret; and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you.
