6:1 Giving to the poor

6 “You people should take care not to only obey God in front of others so they’ll think well of you,[ref] because if you do, you’ll certainly get no reward from your father in the heavens.

2 “So when you’re giving to the poor, don’t make a big display of it like the hypocrites do in the Jewish meeting halls and in the streets so they’ll get the people’s praises. I can assure you that they’ve already received their reward in full. 3 But when you give to the poor, don’t let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 4 so that your giving will be private, yet your father who sees everything you do will give back to you.

6:1: Mat 23:5.

6 Be_taking_heed not to_be_practicing the righteousness of_you_all before the people, in_order that to_be_seen by_them, and if not, surely you_all_are_having no reward with the father of_you_all, who is in the heavens.

2 Therefore whenever you_may_be_doing alms, you_may_ not _trumpet before you, as the hypocrites are_doing in the synagogues and in the streets, so_that they_may_be_glorified by the people.
Truly, I_am_saying to_you_all, they_are_receiving_fully the reward of_them.

3 But of_you doing alms, not let_know the left hand of_you what the right hand of_you is_doing,

4 so_that the alms of_you may_be in the secret, and the father of_you, the one seeing in the secret, will_be_giving_back to_you.
