Alms » Commandments and practices concerning
Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be observed by them: otherwise ye will have no reward from your Father, who is in heaven. Therefore when thou dost an alms-deed, do not proclaim it abroad, as the hypocrites do, in the synagogues, and in the streets, that they may be applauded by men. Verily I tell you, they have their reward. But when thou givest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doth: read more.
that thine alms may be in secret, and thy Father, who seeth in secret, will himself reward thee openly.
that thine alms may be in secret, and thy Father, who seeth in secret, will himself reward thee openly.
