Matthew 6:2

Made Simple — Modern English Translation

Translated by Verse Made Simple Editorial
KJV ORIGINAL
Therefore 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.

✦ MADE SIMPLE

So when you're helping people or giving to charity, don't make a big show of it like those fake people do in church or on social media, just so everyone will praise them and think they're amazing. Trust me, that attention they're getting? That's all the reward they're ever gonna get.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

Help people quietly — doing good for clout means you already got paid.
