SERMON ON THE MOUNT OUTLINES
Matthew 6:1-4 Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to
be seen of them: otherwise, ye have no reward of your Father which is
in heaven. 2Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound
a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues
and in the streets, that they may have glory of men.
Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
3But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy
right hand doeth: 4That thine alms may be in secret: and thy
Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.
