The Gospel of Matthew - Concerning Almsgiving | Matthew Chapter 6 : 1 - 4

In the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus warns against practicing acts of righteousness to be seen by others. He specifically addresses the giving of alms, instructing his followers to give in secret so that their giving may be purely for God's approval, not for human praise. Jesus assures them that God, who sees what is done in secret, will reward them openly. This passage emphasizes the importance of sincerity and humility in acts of charity, highlighting the value of genuine devotion to God rather than seeking recognition from others.
