Matthew 6

Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

3 Ref `But thou, doing kindness, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doth,

4 Ref that thy kindness may be in secret, and thy Father who is seeing in secret Himself shall reward thee manifestly.

5 Ref `And when thou mayest pray, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites, because they love in the synagogues, and in the corners of the broad places -- standing -- to pray, that they may be seen of men; verily I say to you, that they have their reward.

American Standard-ASV1901 (ASV)

3 Ref But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:

4 Ref that thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father who seeth in secret shall recompense thee.

5 Ref And when ye pray, ye shall not be as the hypocrites: for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have received their reward.

Bible in Basic English (BBE)

3 Ref But when you give money, let not your left hand see what your right hand does:

4 Ref So that your giving may be in secret; and your Father, who sees in secret, will give you your reward.

5 Ref And when you make your prayers, be not like the false-hearted men, who take pleasure in getting up and saying their prayers in the Synagogues and at the street turnings so that they may be seen by men. Truly I say to you, They have their reward.
