"Take heed that ye do not your righteousness before men, to be seen by them, otherwise at least ye have no reward with your Father Who is in Heaven. When, therefore, you are doing alms, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say to you, they receive their reward. But, when you are doing alms, let not your left hand know what your right hand is doing, read more.
that your alms may be in secret; and your Father, Who seeth in secret, will recompense you.

I thought it necessary, therefore, to exhort the brethren, that they should go before to you, and make up beforehand your previously promised bounty, that this may be ready as a matter of bounty and not as of covetousness. But I say this: He that sows sparingly shall also reap sparingly; and he that sows bountifully shall also reap bountifully. Let each one do as he has purposed in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loveth a cheerful giver.














And He said to him also who had invited him, "When you make a dinner or a supper, call not your friends, nor your brethren, nor your kindred, nor your rich neighbors; lest they also invite you in return, and a recompense be made you; but, when you make a feast, call the poor, maimed, lame, blind; and happy shall you be; because they have not wherewith to recompense you; for recompense will be made to you in the resurrection of the righteous."
