Alms » Commandments and practices concerning
But take heed that you do not your righteousness before the people, in order to be seen by them: else you have no reward with your Father who is in the heavens: therefore when you may do alms, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, in order that they may be glorified by the people: truly I say unto you, They exhaust their reward.

But it is this, he that soweth sparingly shall also reap sparingly; and he that soweth bountifully shall also reap bountifully. As each one has predetermined in his heart; not of reluctance, or of constraint: for God loves the hilarious giver.
only that we should remember the poor; which very thing I was also zealous to do.
