^aTake heed that ye do not your ^balms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.

 2 Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the ^ahypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have ^bglory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

 3 But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:

 4 That thine ^aalms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall ^breward thee openly.

 5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the ^ahypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

 6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy ^acloset, and when thou hast ^bshut thy door, ^cpray to thy Father which is in ^dsecret; and thy Father which ^eseeth in secret shall ^freward thee openly.

 7 But when ye pray, use not vain ^arepetitions, as the ^bheathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.

 8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father ^aknoweth what things ye have ^bneed of, before ye ask him.

 9 ^aAfter this manner therefore ^bpray ye: Our ^cFather which art in heaven, ^dHallowed be thy ^ename.

 10 Thy ^akingdom come. Thy ^bwill be done ^cin earth, as it is in heaven.

 11 Give us this day our daily ^abread.
