Matthew 6:5 in Context — Matthew 6

3 Mas quando tu fizeres esmola, não saiba tua mão esquerda o que faz a tua direita;

4 Para que a tua esmola seja em segredo, e teu Pai, que vê em segredo, ele te recompensará em público.

5 E quando orares, não sejas como os hipócritas; porque eles amam orar em pé nas sinagogas e nas esquinas das ruas para serem vistos pelas pessoas. Em verdade vos digo que já receberam sua recompensa.

6 Porém tu, quando orares, entra em teu quarto, fecha tua porta, e ora a teu Pai, que está em segredo; e teu Pai, que vê em segredo, ele te recompensará em público.

7 E quando orardes, não façais repetições inúteis como os gentios, que pensam que por muito falarem serão ouvidos.
