Therefore, when you do merciful deeds, do not sound a trumpet before yourself, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may get glory from men. Most certainly I tell you, they have received their reward.
But when you do merciful deeds, do not let your left hand know what your right hand does,
so that your merciful deeds may be in secret, then your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.

In praying, do not use vain repetitions as the Gentiles do; for they think that they will be heard for their much speaking.
Therefore do not be like them, for your Father knows what things you need before you ask him.
Pray like this: “‘Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy.
Let your Kingdom come. Let your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors.
Bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.'

But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today exists and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will not he much more clothe you, you of little faith?
“Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What will we eat?’, ‘What will we drink?’ or, ‘With what will we be clothed?’
For the Gentiles seek after all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.
But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well.
Therefore do not be anxious for tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Each day’s own evil is sufficient.
