Matthew 6:2-8
2“SoG3767 whenG3752 you 1giveG4160 to the poor, do not soundG4537 aG4537 trumpetG4537 beforeG1715 you, as the hypocritesG5273 doG4160 in the synagoguesG4864 and on the streetsG4505, soG3704 thatG3704 they 2will be praisedG1392 by peopleG444. 3TrulyG281 I sayG3004 to you, they haveG568 their rewardG3408 in fullG568. 3But when you 4giveG4160 to the poor, do not let your leftG710 handG710 knowG1097 whatG5101 your rightG1188 handG1188 is doingG4160, 4soG3704 thatG3704 your charitableG1654 givingG1654 will be in secretG2927; and 5your FatherG3962 who seesG991 what is done in secretG2927 will rewardG591 you.
5“And whenG3752 you prayG4336, you are not to be likeG5613 the hypocritesG5273; for they loveG5368 to 6standG2476 and prayG4336 in the synagoguesG4864 and on the streetG4116 cornersG1137 7soG3704 thatG3704 they 8will be seenG5316 by peopleG444. 9TrulyG281 I sayG3004 to you, they haveG568 their rewardG3408 in fullG568. 6But as for you, whenG3752 you prayG4336, 10goG1525 into your innerG5009 roomG5009, closeG2808 your doorG2374, and prayG4336 to your FatherG3962 whoG3588 is in secretG2927; and 11your FatherG3962 whoG3588 seesG991 what is done in secretG2927 will rewardG591 you.
7“And when you are prayingG4336, do not useG945 thoughtlessG945 repetitionG945 as the GentilesG1482 do, for they thinkG1380 that they will be heardG1522 becauseG1722 of their 12manyG4180 wordsG4180. 8SoG3767 do not be likeG3666 them; for 13your FatherG3962 knowsG3609 whatG3739 you needG5532 beforeG4253 you askG154 Him.
