When you give alms, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, read more.
so as to keep your alms secret; then your Father who sees what is secret will reward you openly.

so that your fast may be seen not by men but by your Father who is in secret, and your Father who sees what is secret will reward you. Verse Conceptsethics, incentives towardsBeing Seen By ManGod Seeing The RighteousHow To FastSeeing PeopleRewardFastingFasting And Prayer
