2 "And whatever you give alms, do not sound a trumpet before you as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and streets, in order that men may praise them. In solemn truth I tell you they already have their reward in full.

3 "But when you give alms, do not let your right hand know what your left is doing,

4 "so that your alms may be in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.
