2 Kings 10:16

16And he said, “Come with me, and see amy zeal for the Lord.” So he
Septuagint, Syriac, Targum; Hebrew they
had him ride in his chariot.

Matthew 6:1-16

Giving to the Needy

1Beware of cpracticing your righteousness before other people in order dto be seen by them, for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven.

2 eThus, when you give to the needy, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may fbe praised by others. Truly, I say to you, they have greceived their reward. 3But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 4so that your giving may be in secret. hAnd your Father who sees in secret will reward you.

The Lord’s Prayer

5And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For they love ito stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others. jTruly, I say to you, they have received their reward. 6But when you pray, kgo into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. lAnd your Father who sees in secret will reward you.

7And when you pray, do not heap up empty phrases as mthe Gentiles do, for nthey think that they will be heard ofor their many words. 8Do not be like them, pfor your Father knows what you need before you ask him. 9 qPray then like this:

rOur Father in heaven,
shallowed be tyour name.
Or Let your name be kept holy, or Let your name be treated with reverence

10 vYour kingdom come,
wyour will be done,
Or Let your kingdom come, let your will be done

yon earth as it is in heaven.
11 zGive us aathis day our daily bread,
Or  our bread for tomorrow

12and forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
13And aclead us not into temptation,
but addeliver us from aeevil.
Or the evil one; some manuscripts add For yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever. Amen

14 agFor if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, 15 ahbut if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

Fasting

16And aiwhen you fast, do not look gloomy like the hypocrites, for they disfigure their faces that their fasting may be seen by others. ajTruly, I say to you, they have received their reward.

Luke 16:15

15And he said to them, You are those who akjustify yourselves before men, but alGod knows your hearts. For what is exalted among men amis an abomination in the sight of God.

Luke 20:47

47 anwho devour widowshouses and aofor a pretense make long prayers. They will receive the greater condemnation.”

John 5:44

44How can you believe, when you receive glory from one another and atdo not seek the glory that comes from authe only God?

John 12:43

43 awfor they loved the glory that comes from man more than the glory that comes from God.
