others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you give 
to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so 
that your giving may be in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will 
reward you. “And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For they 
love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they 
may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. ...
