Matthew 6:1-2

Pure-hearted Giving

6:1 “Be¹ careful not to display your righteousness merely to be seen by people.² Otherwise you have no reward with your Father in heaven. 6:2 Thus whenever you do charitable giving,³ do not blow a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in synagogues⁴ and on streets so that people will praise them. I tell you the truth,⁵ they have their reward.

¹tc ‡ Several mss (א L Z Θ Ë¹ 33 892 1241 1424 al) have δέ (de, “but, now”) at the beginning of this verse; the reading without δέ is supported by B D W 0250 Ë¹³ Ï lat. A decision is difficult, but apparently the conjunction was added by later scribes to indicate a transition in the thought-flow of the Sermon on the Mount. NA²⁷ has δέ in brackets, indicating reservations about its authenticity.

²tn Grk “before people in order to be seen by them.”

³tn Grk “give alms,” but this term is not in common use today. The giving of alms was highly regarded in the ancient world (Deut 15:7-11).

⁴sn See the note on synagogues in 4:23.

⁵tn Grk “Truly (ἀμήν, amhn), I say to you.”
