¹Take heed to your alms. That ye give it not in the sight of men / to the intent that ye would be seen of them. Or else ye get no reward of your father which is in heaven. ²When soever therefore thou givest thine alms / thou shalt not make a trumpet to be blown before thee / as ye hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets / for to be praised of men. Verily I say unto you / they have their reward. But when thou doest thine alms / let not thy lift hand know / what thy right hand doth / that thine alms may be secret: & thy father §Ewhich seeth in secret / shall reward thee openly ⊢
