Matthew
Chapter 6
2
"So when you give to the poor, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, so that they amay be honored by men. bTruly I say to you, they have their reward in full.
3
"But when you give to the poor, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,
4
so that your giving will be in secret; and ayour Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you.
5
"When you pray, you are not to be like the hypocrites; for they love to astand and pray in the synagogues and on the street corners bso that they may be seen by men. cTruly I say to you, they have their reward in full.
6
"But you, when you pray, ago into your inner room, close your door and pray to your Father who is in secret, and byour Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you.
7
"And when you are praying, do not use meaningless repetition as the Gentiles do, for they suppose that they will be heard for their amany words.
13
'And do not lead us into temptation, but adeliver us from bevil. [For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.']
14
"aFor if you forgive others for their transgressions, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
