Matthew 6:3 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. 5¶ And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they loue to pray standing in the Synagogues, and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seene of men. Uerily I say vnto you, they haue their reward.
