2 When, therefore, thou mayest be doing an alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, just as, the hypocrites, do in the synagogues and in the streetsthat they may be glorified by men,Verily, I say unto you, they are getting back their reward.

3 But, thou, when doing an alms, let not, thy left hand, know what thy right hand is doing;

4 that thine alms may be in secret,and, thy Father, who seeth in secret, will give it back to thee.
