1)Be careful not to do your
acts of righteousness before
men, to be seen by them, if
you do, you will have no
reward from your father in
heaven
2) So when you give to the
needy, do not announce it
with trumpets, as the
hypocrites do in the
synagogues/church and on
the street, to be honored by
men, I tell you the truth they
have received their reward in
full
3) But when you give to the
needy do not let your left
hand know what your right
hand is doing, so that your
given may be in secret, Then
your father who sees what is
done in secret, will reward
you openly
