So that your giving may be in secret; and your Father, who sees in secret, will give you your reward.

And when you make your prayers, be not like the false-hearted men, who take pleasure in getting up and saying their prayers in the Synagogues and at the street turnings so that they may be seen by men. Truly I say to you, They have their reward.

Take care not to do your good works before men, to be seen by them; or you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.

Let this then be your prayer: Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy.

But when you give money, let not your left hand see what your right hand does:

And in your prayer do not make use of the same words again and again, as the Gentiles do: for they have the idea that God will give attention to them because of the number of their words.

But when you make your prayer, go into your private room, and, shutting the door, say a prayer to your Father in secret, and your Father, who sees in secret, will give you your reward.

When then you give money to the poor, do not make a noise about it, as the false-hearted men do in the Synagogues and in the streets, so that they may have glory from men. Truly, I say to you, They have their reward.

So be not like them; because your Father has knowledge of your needs even before you make your requests to him.

No man is able to be a servant to two masters: for he will have hate for the one and love for the other, or he will keep to one and have no respect for the other. You may not be servants of God and of wealth.

But if God gives such clothing to the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is put into the oven, will he not much more give you clothing, O you of little faith?

And which of you by taking thought is able to make himself a cubit taller?

Then do not be full of care, saying, What are we to have for food or drink? or, With what may we be clothed?

But if your eye is evil, all your body will be dark. If then the light which is in you is dark, how dark it will be!

And when you go without food, be not sad-faced as the false-hearted are. For they go about with changed looks, so that men may see that they are going without food. Truly I say to you, They have their reward.

Because the Gentiles go in search of all these things: for your Father in heaven has knowledge that you have need of all these things:

So that no one may see that you are going without food, but your Father in secret; and your Father, who sees in secret, will give you your reward.

Let your kingdom come. Let your pleasure be done, as in heaven, so on earth.

See the birds of heaven; they do not put seeds in the earth, they do not get in grain, or put it in store-houses; and your Father in heaven gives them food. Are you not of much more value than they?
