Matthew 6:1-7 Take care not to perform any religious act in order to be observed by men: otherwise you will have no reward from your father who is in heaven.

Mace⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Take care not to perform any religious act in order to be observed by men: otherwise you will have no reward from your father who is in heaven. ² therefore, when you give alms, do not make a proclamation of it as the hypocrites do, in their publick assemblies by sound of trumpet, that they may have the applause of men. for I assure you, they have their reward. ³ but when you give alms, "let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doth:" ⁴ that your alms may be secret: and your father who sees your secret actions, shall reward you. ⁵ And when you pray, be not as the hypocrites are: for they chuse to stand praying in publick places, and at the corners of the streets, to be observ'd by men. I assure you, they have their reward. ⁶ but you, when you pray, enter into your closet, and when you have shut the door, pray to your father who is with you in your retirement, and your father who observeth the actions of your retirement shall reward you. ⁷ When you pray, be not verbose, as the heathen are: for they think they shall be heard for their loquaciousness.
