6:1 - Be careful not to do your good deeds in the presence of other people so that they can see you; if you do that, God will not reward it.
6:2 - So when you do your alms, do so quietly unlike the hypocrites in the synagogue who do them for glory. They already have their reward.
6:3 - But when you give charitably, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing.
6:4 - Your good deeds should be done secretly: and God, who sees your secret good deeds, will reward you openly.
6:5 - And when you take time to pray, do not follow the example of those hypocrites: you have seen them praying loudly in public places where they are seen and admired by others. I tell you the truth, that is all the reward they will receive.
6:6 - When you pray, do not shout it out for all to hear your lament, but rather in a quiet place, for your heavenly Father will hear your prayer and bless you.
6:7 - But when you pray, do not be vainly repetitious, as the heathens do: they think that because they are verbose, they will be heard.
6:8 - Don’t be like the rest of them: God knows what you need even before you ask him.
6:9 - Therefore, you should pray like this: Our Father, who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name.
6:10 - Your kingdom will arrive, Your desire will be accomplished in the earth, the same as it will be accomplished in heaven.
