Verily, I say to you, They have their reward. But when you do a charitable deed, let not your left hand know what your right hand does; read more.
that your charitable deeds may be in secret; and. your Father, who sees in secret, himself will reward you openly.

But remember this, that he who sows sparingly, shall also reap sparingly; and he who sows bountifully, shall also reap bountifully. Let each one give, as he purposes in his heart; not with grief, nor from necessity: for God loves a cheerful giver.

Bring forth, therefore, fruit worthy of repentance: and think not to say within yourselves, "We have Abraham for our father; for I say to you that God is able from these stones to raise up children to Abraham.
Think not that I have come to make the law or the prophets of no effect. I have not come to make them of no effect, but to give them their full efficiency. For verily I say to you, Till heaven and earth pass away, one yod or one point shall in no way pass from the law till all be fulfilled. Whoever, there fore, shall make void one of the least of these commandments, and shall teach men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven. But whoever shall do and teach, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

Again, you have heard that it was said to the ancients: You shall not swear falsely, but shall pay to the Lord your vows. But I say to you, Swear not at all: neither by heaven, for it is the throne of God; nor by the earth, for it is his footstool; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King: neither shall you swear by your head, for you can not make one hair white or black. But let your word be, Yes, yes; No, no; for whatever is more than these is of the Evil One. You have heard that it was said: An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.

Nor do men put new wine into old bottles; if so, the bottles burst, and the wine runs out, and the bottles are lost. But they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved.
