40:005:048 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in
heaven is perfect.
40:006:001 Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.
40:006:002 Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
40:006:003 But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy
right hand doeth:
40:006:004 That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth
in secret himself shall reward thee openly.
40:006:005 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites
are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in
the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men.
Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
40:006:006 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when
thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in
secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee
openly.
40:006:007 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
40:006:008 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth
what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
40:006:009 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in
heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
