Matthew 6:2-4

EasyEnglish Bible

² When you give something to a poor person, do not tell anyone about it. The hypocrites do this in their meeting places. They also do it in the busy streets of the town. They do this so that other people will praise them. I tell you this. They have already received their gift. God will not give them anything more.^[a]

³ So when you give something to a poor person, keep it a secret from other people. Do not tell anyone. Your left hand will not even know what your right hand does! ⁴ Nobody else will know about the good thing that you have done. But God sees the things that you do secretly. In return, he will give you good things.’
