Mark 12

Again, the Savior teaches his disapproval of pride and hypocrites saying -

"...Beware of the scribes, which love to go in long clothing, and love salutations in the marketplaces,
39 And the chief seats in the synagogues, and the uppermost rooms at feasts:
40 Which devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayers: these shall receive greater damnation." (New Testament | Mark 12:38 - 40)

Somewhat related is the pride and hypocrisy of men to be seen of the world, when it comes to ministering to the poor and needy for as -

"...Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the people cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much.
42 And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing.
43 And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury:
44 For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living." (New Testament | Mark 12:41 - 44)

I see this type of attitude from politicians that claim compassion as they tax others and give to the less fortunate or oppressed. It is not charity or compassion when you give other peoples money. It is only charity and compassion as you give of oneself. James E. Talmage wrote -

"In the accounts kept by the recording angels, figured out according to the arithmetic of heaven, entries are made in terms of quality rather than of quantity, and values are determined on the basis of capability and intent. The rich gave much yet kept back more; the widow's gift was her all. It was not the smallness of her offering that made it especially acceptable, but the spirit of sacrifice and devout intent with which she gave. On the books of the heavenly accountants that widow's contribution was entered as a munificent gift, surpassing in worth the largess of kings. "For if there be first a willing mind, it is accepted according to that a man hath, and not according to that he hath not." [2 Cor. 8:12.] (JTC, pp. 561-62.)
