Pharisees taught and practiced giving. So did Jesus. What a difference between the two. One ended up taking the life of the LORD of all creation. While the LORD of all creation gave up HIS life on the cross for His creatures.
Giving without loving is no giving at all. For love is the basis and the foundation, of all things related to our life, and the LORD.
Love at all cost…nay in spite of the cost, and then give yourself wholly.
