How To Benefit Others

The Twelve Apostles

 

 

Unselfish Love

And when you give to aid the needy ones, blow no trumpet in the street, nor in the synagogue to advertise your gift. He who does alms for praise of humanity has his reward from humanity, because God does not regard such alms. In giving alms, do not let the right hand know the secret of the left.”

 

"Take heed that you do not do your charitable deeds before people, to be seen by them. Otherwise you have no reward from your Father in heaven. Therefore, when you do a charitable deed, do not sound a trumpet before you as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory from people. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. But when you do a charitable deed, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, that your charitable deed may be in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will Himself reward you openly.”
