But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:
|
|
|
That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.

For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living.

Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy;
|

Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.

|
|
|
And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him.
