Matthew 6:2-4

Easy-to-Read Version

² “When you give to those who are poor, don’t announce that you are giving. Don’t be like the hypocrites. When they are in the synagogues and on the streets, they blow trumpets before they give so that people will see them. They want everyone to praise them. The truth is, that’s all the reward they will get. ³ So when you give to the poor, don’t let anyone know what you are doing.^{[a] 4} Your giving should be done in private. Your Father can see what is done in private, and he will reward you.
