Matthew 6:2-8

2Thus whenever you do charitable giving, do not blow a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in synagogues and on streets so that people will praise them. I tell you the truth, they have their reward.

3But when you do your giving, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,

4so that your gift may be in secret. And your Father, who sees in secret, will reward you.

5“Whenever you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, because they love to pray while standing in synagogues and on street corners so that people can see them. Truly I say to you, they have their reward.

6But whenever you pray, go into your room, close the door, and pray to your Father in secret. And your Father, who sees in secret, will reward you.

7When you pray, do not babble repetitiously like the Gentiles, because they think that by their many words they will be heard.

8Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.
