Matthew 6:1-5

Living_Oracles(i) 1 Take heed that you perform not your religious duties before men, in order to be observed by them; otherwise you will obtain no reward from your Father who is in heaven. 2 When, therefore, you give alms, do not proclaim it by sound of trumpet, as the hypocrites do, in the assemblies and in the streets, that they may be extolled by men. Indeed, I say to you, they have received their reward. 3 But you, when you give alms, let not your left hand know what your right hand does; 4 that your alms may be in secret; and your Father, to whom nothing is secret, will himself recompense you. 5 And when you pray, be not like the hypocrites, who affect to pray standing in the assemblies, and at the corners of the streets, that men may observe them. Indeed, I say to you, they have received their reward.
