John 14:15-21

15 "If you love me, you will obey my commandments. 16 And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Advocate to be for ever with you--the Spirit of truth. 17 That Spirit the world cannot receive, because it does not see Him or know Him. You know Him, because He remains by your side and is in you. 18 I will not leave you bereaved: I am coming to you. 19 Yet a little while and the world will see me no more, but you will see me: because I live, you also shall live. 20 At that time you will know that I am in my Father, and that you are in me, and that I am in you. 21 He who has my commandments and obeys them--he it is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and will clearly reveal myself to him."

Matthew 6:1-4

1 "But beware of doing your good actions in the sight of men, in order to attract their gaze; if you do, there is no reward for you with your Father who is in Heaven. 2 'When you give in charity, never blow a trumpet before you as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and streets in order that their praises may be sung by men. I solemnly tell you that they already have their reward. 3 But when you are giving in charity, let not your left hand perceive what your right hand is doing, 4 that your charities may be in secret; and then your Father--He who sees in secret--will recompense you.
