Serve the Lord with pure intention!
"(But) take care not to perform righteous
deeds in order that people may see them; otherwise, you will have no recompense
from your heavenly Father. When you give alms, do not blow a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites
2 do in the synagogues and in the streets to win
the praise of others. Amen, I say to you, they have received their reward.
But when you give alms, do not let your left hand know what your right is
doing,
so that your almsgiving may be secret. And your Father who sees in secret
will repay you.
When you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, who love to stand and pray in
the synagogues and on street corners so that others may see them. Amen, I say to
you, they have received their reward. But when you pray, go to your inner room, close the door, and pray to your
Father in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will repay you."
