Matthew 6:2 in Context — Matthew 6
1 Ficai atentos para que não façais vossa esmola diante das pessoas a fim de que sejais vistos por elas; de outra maneira não tereis recompensa de vosso Pai que está nos céus.
2 Portanto, quando fizeres esmola, não faças tocar trombeta diante de ti, como fazem os hipócritas nas sinagogas e nas ruas, para serem honrados pelas pessoas; em verdade vos digo que já receberam sua recompensa.
3 Mas quando tu fizeres esmola, não saiba tua mão esquerda o que faz a tua direita;
4 Para que a tua esmola seja em segredo, e teu Pai, que vê em segredo, ele te recompensará em público.
