1. “Beware of doing your kind deeds before men, in order to be seen by them. Otherwise you have no reward from your Father in the heavens.
2. “Thus, when you do a kind deed, do not sound a trumpet before you as the hypocrites do, in the congregations and in the streets, to be praised by men. Truly, I say to you, they have their reward.
3. “But when you do a kind deed, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,
4. so that your kind deed shall be in secret. And your Father who sees in secret shall Himself reward you openly.
5. “And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the congregations and on the corners of the streets, to be seen by men. Truly, I say to you, they have their reward.
6. “But you, when you pray, go into your room, and having shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place. And your Father who sees in secret shall reward you openly.
7. “And when praying, do not keep on babbling like the gentiles. For they think that they shall be heard for their many words.
8. “Therefore do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.
9. “This, then, is the way you should pray: ‘Our Father who is in the heavens, let Your Name be set-apart,
10. let Your reign come, let Your desire be done on earth as it is in heaven.
11. ‘Give us today our daily bread.
12. ‘And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
13. ‘And do not lead us into trial, but deliver us from the wicked one – because Yours is the reign and the power and the esteem, forever. Amĕn.’
14. “For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father shall also forgive you.
15. “But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither shall your Father forgive your trespasses.
