1 Take heede to your almes, that ye geue it not in the sight of men, to the intente that ye woulde be sene of the, or els ye haue no rewarde of your father, which is in heauen. 2 Therefore, when thou geuest thyne almes, thou shalt not make a trumpet to be blowen before thee, as hypocrites do, in the synagogues, & in the streates, yt they might be esteemed of me. Uerily I say vnto you, they haue their reward. 3 But when thou doest thyne almes, let not thy left hande knowe, what thy ryght hande doeth, 4 That thyne almes may be in secrete: And thy father, which seeth in secrete, shall rewarde thee openly.
