Bible Comments

Ostentation in almsgiving reproved.

Matthew 6:2-4

2 Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do notb sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

3 But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:

4 That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.
