馬太福音 6:1

"Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.
"So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full.
But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,
so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
「你們要小心,不可將善事行在人的面前,故意叫他們看見,若是這樣,就不能得你們天父的賞賜了。
所以,你施捨的時候,不可在你前面吹號,像那假冒為善的人在會堂裡和街道上所行的,故意要得人的榮耀。我實在告訴你們,他們已經得了他們的賞賜。
你施捨的時候,不要叫左手知道右手所做的,
要叫你施捨的事行在暗中。你父在暗中察看,必然報答你(有古卷:必在明處報答你)。」

使徒行傳 4:32
- 35
All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of their possessions was their own, but they shared everything they had.
With great power the apostles continued to testify to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And God's grace was so powerfully at work in them all
that there were no needy persons among them. For from time to time those who owned land or houses sold them, brought the money from the sales
and put it at the apostles' feet, and it was distributed to anyone who had need.
那許多信的人都是一心一意的,沒有一人說他的東西有一樣是自己的,都是大家公用。
使徒大有能力,見證主耶穌復活;眾人也都蒙大恩。
內中也沒有一個缺乏的,因為人人將田產房屋都賣了,把所賣的價銀拿來,放在使徒腳前,
照各人所需用的,分給各人。

If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be that person?
