2 So when you give money to poor people, do not send men in front of you to blow trumpets or horns. Some people do this in the meeting houses and on the streets so that people will praise them. They are not true to themselves. I tell you the truth. They have their pay already.

3 But when you give money to poor people, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing.

4 In this way, what you give to the poor will be secret. Your Father sees secret things and he will reward you.
