MNT(i)
1 "Be careful not to do your good deeds in the sight of men, in order to be observed by them. If you do, you have no reward with your heavenly Father.
2 "And whatever you give alms, do not sound a trumpet before you as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and streets, in order that men may praise them. In solemn truth I tell you they already have their reward in full.
3 "But when you give alms, do not let your right hand know what your left is doing,
4 "so that your alms may be in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.
5 "And whenever you pray, do not be like the hypocrites. For they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and on the corners of the avenues, in order that men may see them. In solemn truth I tell you that they have their reward in full.
6 "But you, when you pray, go into your own room and shut your door; pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
7 "While praying do not say the same words over and over again, as the Gentiles do, for they suppose that by their much speaking they will gain attention.
