SCRIPTURE
"that thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father who seeth in secret shall recompense thee." — Matthew 6:4 (ASV)
In secret (τω κρυπτω). The Textus Receptus added the words εν τω φανερω (openly) here and in 6:6, but they are not genuine. Jesus does not promise a public reward for private piety.
