Matthew 6:2-18

2So whenever you do tzadakah, do not sound a trumpet before you as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, so that they may be glorified by men. Amen, I tell you, they have their reward in full!

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

4so that your tzadakah may be in secret; and your Father, who sees in secret, shall reward you.

5“When you pray, do not be like the hypocrites; for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners, so that they may be seen by others. Amen, I tell you, they have their reward in full!

6But you, when you pray, go into your inner room; and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father, who sees in secret, shall reward you.

7And when you are praying, do not babble on and on like the pagans; for they think they will be heard because of their many words.

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

9“Therefore, pray in this way: ‘Our Father in heaven, sanctified be Your name.

10Your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

11Give us this day our daily bread.

12And forgive us our debts as we also have forgiven our debtors.

13And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.’

14“For if you forgive others their transgressions, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.

15But if you do not forgive others, neither will your Father forgive your transgressions.

16“And whenever you fast, do not become sad-faced like the hypocrites, for they neglect their faces to make their fasting evident to men. Amen, I tell you, they have their reward in full!

17But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face,

18so that your fasting won’t be evident to men, but to your Father who is in secret. And your Father, who sees in secret, will reward you.
