Matthew 6:2 Context
1Take heed that yee doe not your almes before men, to bee seene of them: otherwise yee haue no reward of your father which is in heauen. 2Therefore, when thou doest thine almes, doe not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites doe, in the Synagogues, and in the streetes, that they may haue glory of men. Uerily, I say vnto you, they haue their reward. 3But when thou doest almes, let not thy left hand know, what thy right doeth: 4That thine almes may be in secret: And thy father which seeth in secret, himselfe shall reward thee openly.
