    1Be careful not to do your charitable deeds before men, to be seen by them; otherwise, you have no reward from your Father who is in heaven.

    2Therefore, when you do your charitable deeds, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory from men. Truly, I say to you, they have their reward.

    3But when you do your charitable deeds, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,

    4that your charitable deeds may be in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.
