In the text
Matthew 5:16Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.Matthew 5:24Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.Matthew 6:1Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.Matthew 6:2Therefore 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.Matthew 7:6Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.Matthew 10:32Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.Matthew 10:33But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.Matthew 11:10For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.Matthew 11:26Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight.Matthew 17:2And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.
