Don't do your good deeds publicly to be admired by others, for you will lose the reward from your Father in heaven.
When you give to someone in need, don't do as the hypocrites do, blowing trumpets in the synagogues and streets to call attention to their acts of charity.
But when you give to someone in need, don't let your left hand know what your right hand is doing.
Give your gifts in private, and your Father, who sees everything, will reward you.
When you pray, don't be like the hypocrites who love to pray publicly on street corners and in the synagogues where everyone can see them.
They think their prayers are answered merely by repeating their words again and again.
Don't be like them, for your Father knows exactly what you need even before you ask Him.
Give us today the food we need and forgive us our sins as we have forgiven those who sin against us.
If you forgive those who sin against you, your heavenly Father will forgive you.
And when you fast, don't make it obvious, as the hypocrites do, for they try to look miserable and disheveled so people will admire them for their fasting.
