Matthew 6:2

So when you give something. A hypocrite is one who "shows off" and tries to make people think he is important. The Greek word meant an actor on the stage one who acted a part. The world praises the millionaire who gives a few thousands, but ignores those who really sacrifice to give a dollar or two. They have already been paid in fall. They did not do this to praise God, but to honor themselves. "God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble" (James 4:6).
