alms Take heed that ye do not your {alms} before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven. alms 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. alms But when thou doest {alms}, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth: alms That thine {alms} may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly. alms But rather give {alms} of such things as ye have; and, behold, all things are clean unto you. alms Sell that ye have, and give {alms}; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth. ~~~~~~
