Matthew 6:5 in Context — Matthew 6

3 Mas cuando tú haces limosna, no sepa tu izquierda lo que hace tu derecha;

4 Para que sea tu limosna en secreto: y tu Padre que ve en secreto, él te recompensará en público.

5 Y cuando oras, no seas como los hipócritas; porque ellos aman el orar en las sinagogas, y en los cantones de las calles en pie, para ser vistos de los hombres: de cierto os digo, que ya tienen su pago.

6 Mas tú, cuando oras, éntrate en tu cámara, y cerrada tu puerta, ora á tu Padre que está en secreto; y tu Padre que ve en secreto, te recompensará en público.

7 Y orando, no seáis prolijos, como los Gentiles; que piensan que por su parlería serán oídos.
