be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in
heaven. Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before
thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they
may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But
when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand
doeth: That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in
secret himself shall reward thee openly."

alms, let not thine eye by envious: turn not away thy face from any poor
man, and the face of God shall not be turned away from thee. As thy
substance is, give alms of it according to thine abundance: if thou have
little, be not afraid to give alms according to that little; for thou layest
up a good treasure for thyself against the day of necessity: because alms
delivereth from death, and suffereth not to come into darkness. Alms is a
good gift in the sight of the Most High for all that give it,"

to them that are naked: of all thine abundance give alms,"

righteousness shall be filled with life," Tobit 12:8-10."Good is
