MATTHEW 6:1-15 Teaching About Almsgiving - The Lord’s Prayer
Teaching About Almsgiving.*
1
“[But] take care not to perform righteous deeds in order that people may see them;a otherwise, you will have no recompense from your heavenly Father.
2
When you give alms, do not blow a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites* do in the synagogues and in the streets to win the praise of others. Amen, I say to you, they have received their reward.b
3
But when you give alms, do not let your left hand know what your right is doing,
4
so that your almsgiving may be secret. And your Father who sees in secret will repay you.
Teaching About Prayer.
5
“When you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, who love to stand and pray in the synagogues and on street corners so that others may see them. Amen, I say to you, they have received their reward.
6
But when you pray, go to your inner room, close the door, and pray to your Father in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will repay you.
7
* In praying, do not babble like the pagans, who think that they will be heard because of their many words.*
8
Do not be like them. Your Father knows what you need before you ask him.
The Lord’s Prayer.
9
* “This is how you are to pray:c
Our Father in heaven,*
hallowed be your name,
10
your kingdom come,*
your will be done,
on earth as in heaven.d
11
* e Give us today our daily bread;
12
and forgive us our debts,*
as we forgive our debtors;f
13
and do not subject us to the final test,*
but deliver us from the evil one.g
14
* If you forgive others their transgressions, your heavenly Father will forgive you.h
15
But if you do not forgive others, neither will your Father forgive your transgressions.
