1. “Be sure that you not do your charitable deeds before men to be seen by them. Otherwise you have no reward from your Father who is in heaven.
2. “Therefore, when you do your charitable deeds, do not sound a trumpet before you as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be honored by men. Truly I say to you, they have their reward.
3. But when you do your charitable deeds, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,
4. that your charitable deeds may be in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will Himself reward you openly.
5. “When you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners that they may be seen by men. Truly I say to you, they have their reward.
6. But you, when you pray, enter your closet, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.
7. But when you pray, do not use vain repetitions, as the heathen do. For they think that they will be heard for their much speaking.
8. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what things you have need of before you ask Him.
9. “Therefore pray in this manner: Our Father who is in heaven,hallowed be Your name.
10. Your kingdom come;Your will be doneon earth, as it is in heaven.
