Take heed that you do no do your justice before men, to be seen by them: otherwise you shall not have a reward of your Father who is in heaven.

Therefore when thou dost an almsdeed, sound not a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do (Mt6:1-6.16-18 #HolyMass #Jun17)~DR #Bible

2. in the synagogues.. But when thou dost alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doth. That thy alms may be in secret, and thy Father who seeth in secret will repay thee. (Mt6:1-6.16-18) ~ DouayRheims #Bible

3. And when ye pray, you shall not be as the hypocrites, that love to stand and pray in the synagogues and corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men..But thou when thou shalt pray, enter into thy chamber, and having shut the door, pray to thy Father in secret (Mt6:1-6)

4. And when you fast, be not as the hypocrites.. they disfigure their faces, that they appear unto men to fast. Amen I say to you, they have received their reward.

But thou, when thou fastest anoint thy head, and wash thy face..that thou appear not to men to fast(Mt6:1-6.16-18)

5. but to thy Father who is in secret; and thy Father who seeth in secret, will repay thee. (Mt6:1-6.16-18) #Bible #PrayerFastingAlmsgiving #SpiritualWeapons #NotOfThisWorld #Christianity #BibleVerses

(From the footnotes: "Chap.6. Ver.1. 'Your justice', that is, 'works of justice'; viz. fasting, prayer, and almsdeeds; which ought to be performed not out of ostentation, or a view to please men, but solely to please God.")
