Matthew 6:6

⁴  That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.

⁵  And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites 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 closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.

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

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