Matthew 6:1-7

1 Take heed not to do your alms {lit. acts of mercy} before men, to be seen of them; otherwise, ye have no reward of your Father who is in the heavens.

2 Therefore, when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They already have their reward.

3 But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth

4 that thine alms may be in secret; and thy Father who sees in secret, he shall reward thee openly.

5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They already have their reward.

6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy chamber, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father who is in secret; and thy Father who sees in secret shall reward thee openly.

7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions as the worldly do, for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
