so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.[a](A)

How to Pray

“Whenever you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites, because they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by people.

And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.[b](C)
