"....But when you give alms, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing...."

From your assessment of Jesus teaching about giving, what do you think is a violation of the statement__________

  • A One give only what one has
  • B One does not give from freewill
  • C One is judgemental in giving
  • D One gives only what is requested

The correct answer is B. One does not give from freewill

It means that when you give to the needy, do it secretly. If you give to bring attention to yourself, you don't get a reward in heaven because you already have your reward in all the attention you got. So do all good works in secret as much as possible, not just giving. God will see your good works and will reward you. Matthew 6:3
