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.

This scripture can be found in the 6th chapter of the book of Matthew, in the New Testament of the Bible.
Matthew 6:1-4
A little note:
The '6:1-4' is 'chapter : verse 1, verse 2, verse 3 and verse 4'
Verses are not originally part of the Bible's scripture, so don't let them stop you from sometimes reading a whole chapter or three to get the full scope of a story. Verses just help us share specific passages with each other. :)
