Alms » Commandments and practices concerning
TAKE heed that ye do not your alms before men, in order to catch their eye: for otherwise ye have no reward from your Father who is in heaven. Therefore when thou givest alms, sound not a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do, in the synagogues, and in the streets, that they may have glory from men. Verily I say unto you, They receive their reward. But when thou givest alms, let not thy right hand know what thy left is doing: 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.
Jesus said to him, If thou art desirous to be perfect, go, sell all thy substance, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.
