Matthew 6:4-6
New King James Version
4 that your charitable deed may be in secret; and your Father who sees in secret (A)will Himself reward you [a]openly.
The Model Prayer(B)
5 “And when you pray, you shall not be like the [b]hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. 6 But you, when you pray, (C)go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you [c]openly.
