Matthew 6:2-8

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.
