In quel tempo, Gesù disse ai suoi discepoli:
«State attenti a non praticare la vostra giustizia davanti agli uomini per essere ammirati da loro, altrimenti non c’è ricompensa per voi presso il Padre vostro che è nei cieli.
Dunque, quando fai l’elemosina, non suonare la tromba davanti a te, come fanno gli ipòcriti nelle sinagoghe e nelle strade, per essere lodati dalla gente. In verità io vi dico: hanno già ricevuto la loro ricompensa. Invece, mentre tu fai l’elemosina, non sappia la tua sinistra what your right hand, so that your alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
And when you pray, do not imitate the hypocrites in the synagogues and at street corners, they love to pray standing in order to be seen by people. Verily I say unto you, they have received their reward. Instead, when you pray, go into your room, close the door, pray to thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret will reward you.
And when you fast, do not become gloomy like the hypocrites, who assume an air of defeat for others to see they are fasting. Verily I say unto you, they have received their reward. Instead, when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, so people do not see that you are fasting except your Father which is in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret will reward you. "
