Matthew 6:1-2

Giving to the Poor and Prayer

1 "Beware of practicing your righteousness before men ¹to be noticed by them; otherwise you have no reward with your Father who is in heaven.

2 "So when you give to the poor, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, so that they ²may be honored by men. ³Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full.
