Matthew 6:5-7

5“When you pray, you are not to be like the hypocrites; for they love to 1stand and pray in the synagogues and on the street corners 23so that they may be seen by men. 4Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full. 6But you, when you pray, 5go into your inner room, close your door and pray to your Father who is in secret, and 6your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you.

7“And when you are praying, do not use meaningless repetition as the Gentiles do, for they suppose that they will be heard for their 7many words.
