Matthew 6:2-6

English Standard Version

^2 (A)“Thus, when you give to the needy, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may ^(B)be praised by others. Truly, I say to you, they have ^(C)received their reward. ³ But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, ⁴ so that your giving may be in secret. ^(D)And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.

The Lord's Prayer

⁵ “And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For they love ^(E)to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others. ^(F)Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. ⁶ But when you pray, ^(G)go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. ^(H)And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
