2 When you give gifts of mercy, do not sound a trumpet before you as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, in order that they may be honored by men. I assure you they get their payment in full.

3 But you, when you are giving a gift of mercy, must not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,

4 so that your gift may be in secret, and your Father, who sees in secret, will repay you.
