Matthew 6:1
The Sermon on the Mount (cont'd)
SUMMARY OF MATTHEW 6: The Right and Wrong Way of Righteousness.
Charity Not for Show. Our Alms-Giving Not to Be Sounded with a
Trumpet. Prayer Not to Be Offered for Public Praise. The Model
Prayer. Fasting to Be in Secret. Impossible to Serve God and Mammon.
Trust in the Heavenly Father. The First Aim of Life.
Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen. The
Common Version is wrong in using the word "alms", and the Revised
Version right, in using "righteousness". The Savior condemns
ostentatious piety, and then he singles out three illustrations of his
meaning. The Christian is not forbidden to practice righteousness
before men, but to make it his object to be seen.
