    1Be careful not to do your charitable deeds before men, to be seen by them; otherwise, you have no reward from your Father who is in heaven.

    2Therefore, when you do your charitable deeds, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory from men. Truly, I say to you, they have their reward.

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

    4that your charitable deeds may be in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.

    5And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Truly, I say to you, they have their reward.

    6But you, when you pray, enter into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.

    7But when you pray, do not use vain repetitions, as the heathens do, for they think that they will be heard for their many words.

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

    9In this manner, therefore, pray: Our Father who is in heaven, Hallowed be Your name.

    21For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

    22The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is sound, your whole body will be full of light.

    23But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness!
