2 When, therefore, you give alms, do not proclaim it by sound of trumpet, as the hypocrites do, in the assemblies and in the streets, that they may be extolled by men. Indeed, I say to you, they have received their reward.
3 But you, when you give alms, let not your left hand know what your right hand does;
4 that your alms may be in secret; and your Father, to whom nothing is secret, will himself recompense you.
