Beware of practicing your piety before others in order to be seen by them; for then you have no reward from your Lord in heaven. So whenever you give alms, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, so that they may be praised by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward. But when you give alms, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your alms may be done in secret; and your Lord who sees in secret will reward you.
- Matthew 6:2-4
