In solemn truth I tell you they already have their reward in full. "But when you give alms, do not let your right hand know what your left is doing, read more.
"so that your alms may be in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly. "And whenever you pray, do not be like the hypocrites. For they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and on the corners of the avenues, in order that men may see them. In solemn truth I tell you that they have their reward in full. "But you, when you pray, go into your own room and shut your door; pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father who sees in secret will reward you. "While praying do not say the same words over and over again, as the Gentiles do, for they suppose that by their much speaking they will gain attention. "Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him. "So pray in this way. "Our Father who art in heaven, May thy name be hallowed, thy kingdom come, and thy will be done, On earth, as in heaven. Give us today our bread for the day before us; And forgive us our debts as we also have forgiven our debtors; And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the Evil One; For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory. Amen. "For if you forgive men their offenses against you, your heavenly Father will forgive you also; "but if you do not forgive men your offenses, neither will your heavenly Father forgive you your offenses. "When you fast, do not look downcast like the hypocrites; for they disfigure their faces so that it may be apparent to men that they are fasting. In solemn truth I tell you, they already have received their reward. "But when one of you fasts, let him anoint his head and wash his face, "so that he may not appear to men to be fasting, but to his Father who is in secret; and his Father who sees in secret will reward him.
