Matthew 6:1-7

LITV(i) 1 Be careful not to do your merciful deeds before men in order to be seen by them. Otherwise, you have no reward from your Father in Heaven. 2 Therefore, when you do merciful deeds, do not trumpet before you as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, so that they may be glorified by men. Truly I say to you, they have their reward. 3 But you doing merciful deeds, do not let your left know what your right hand does, 4 so that your merciful deeds may be in secret. And your Father seeing in secret Himself will repay you in the open. 5 And when you pray, you shall not be as the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the open streets so that they may be seen of men. Truly I say to you, they have their reward. 6 But you, when you pray, enter into your room and shutting your door, pray to your Father in secret. And your Father seeing in secret will repay you in the open. 7 But when you pray, do not babble vain words, as the nations; for they think that they shall be heard in their much speaking.
