Matthew 6:5-6

The Lord’s Prayer

5 “And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For they love ¹to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others. ²Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward.

6 But when you pray, ³go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. ⁴And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
