Matthew 6:5-6

5 "When you pray, you are not to be like the hypocrites; for they love to 1stand and pray in the synagogues and on the street corners 2so that they may be seen by men. 3Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full.
6 "But you, when you pray, 4go into your inner room, close your door and pray to your Father who is in secret, and 5your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you.
