Matthew 6:4 in context

  1. 2When therefore thou doest alms, sound not a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have received their reward.
  2. 3But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:
  3. 4that thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father who seeth in secret shall recompense thee.
  4. 5And when ye pray, ye shall not be as the hypocrites: for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have received their reward.
  5. 6But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thine inner chamber, and having shut thy door, pray to thy Father who is in secret, and thy Father who seeth in secret shall recompense thee.
