Thematic Bible: How not to give
Thematic Bible
Charity » How not to give
But this, he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows in blessings will also reap in blessings. Each man as he purposes in his heart, not from regret or from necessity, for God loves a cheerful giver.
Be careful not to do your charity before men in order to be seen by them, otherwise ye have no reward from your Father in the heavens. When therefore thou do charity, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, so that they may have glory by men. Truly I say to you, they have their reward.
