11 And when they come give us the strength to overcome.
12 If you would be discharged from all the debts you owe to God and man, the debts you have incurred by wilfully transgressing law,
13 You must pass by the debts of every man; for as you deal with other men your God will deal with you.
14 And when you fast you may not advertise the deed.
15 When fast the hypocrites they paint their faces, look demure, assume a pious pose, that they may seem to men to fast.
16 A fast is deed of soul, and like a prayer, it is a function of the silence of the soul.
17 God never passes by unnoticed any prayer, or fast. He walks within the silence, and his benedictions rest on every effort of the soul.
18 Deception is hypocrisy, and you shall not assume to be what you are not.
19 You may not clothe yourselves in special garb to advertise your piety, nor yet assume the tone of voice that men conceive to be a holy voice.
20 And when you give to aid the needy ones, blow not a trumpet in the street, nor synagogue to advertise your gift.
