Context
Pure-hearted Giving
6:1 “Be careful not to display your righteousness merely to be seen by people . Otherwise you have no reward with your Father in heaven .
6:2 Thus whenever you do charitable giving , do not blow a trumpet before you , as the hypocrites do in synagogues and on streets so that people will praise them. I tell you the truth , they have their reward .
6:3 But when you do your giving , do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing ,
6:4 so that your gift may be in secret . And your Father , who sees in secret , will reward you .
Private Prayer
6:5 “Whenever you pray , do not be like the hypocrites , because they love to pray while standing in synagogues and on street corners so that people can see them. Truly I say to you , they have their reward .
6:6 But whenever you pray , go into your room , close the door , and pray to your Father in secret . And your Father , who sees in secret , will reward you .
6:7 When you pray , do not babble repetitiously like the Gentiles , because they think that by their many words they will be heard .
6:8 Do not be like them , for your Father knows what you need need before you ask him .
6:9 So pray this way : Our Father in heaven , may your name be honored ,
6:10 may your kingdom come , may your will be done on earth as it is in heaven .
6:11 Give us today our daily bread ,
6:12 and forgive us our debts , as we ourselves have forgiven our debtors .
6:13 And do not lead us into temptation , but deliver us from the evil one .
6:14 “For if you forgive others their sins , your heavenly Father will also forgive you .
6:15 But if you do not forgive others , your Father will not forgive you your sins .
Proper Fasting
6:16 “When you fast , do not look sullen like the hypocrites , for they make their faces unattractive so that people will see them fasting . I tell you the truth , they have their reward .
