DO NOT SOUND A TRUMPET BEFORE THEE

MATTHEW 6:1-9

TAKE HEED 

THAT YE DO NOT 

YOUR ALMS BEFORE MEN, 

TO BE SEEN OF THEM: 

OTHERWISE 

YE HAVE NO 

REWARD 

OF 

YOUR FATHER 

WHICH IS IN HEAVEN.

THEREFORE

WHEN THOU DOEST

THINE ALMS,

DO NOT SOUND

A TRUMPET BEFORE THEE, 

AS

THE HYPOCRITES DO 

IN THE 

SYNAGOGUES 

AND 

IN THE STREETS, 

THAT 

THEY MAY HAVE 

GLORY OF MEN. 

VERILY I SAY UNTO YOU, 

THEY HAVE THEIR REWARD. 

BUT WHEN THOU 

DOEST ALMS, 

LET NOT

THY LEFT HAND 

KNOW 

WHAT 

THY RIGHT HAND DOETH? 

THAT THINE ALMS 

MAY BE IN SECRET: 

AND 

THY FATHER

WHICH SEETH

IN

SECRET HIMSELF

SHALL REWARD

THEE OPENLY. 

AND 

WHEN THOU PRAYEST,

THOU SHALT NOT BE 

AS 

THE HYPOCRITES ARE: 

FOR THEY LOVE 

TO 

PRAY STANDING 

IN 

THE SYNAGOGUES 

AND 

IN THE CORNERS

 OF 

THE STREETS, 

THAT THEY MAY 

BE SEEN OF MEN. 

VERILY I SAY UNTO YOU, 

THEY HAVE THEIR REWARD. 

BUT THOU,

WHEN THOU PRAYEST,

ENTER INTO THY CLOSET,

AND

WHEN THOU HAST

SHUT THY DOOR,

PRAY TO THY FATHER

WHICH IS IN SECRET;

AND

THY FATHER WHICH

SEETH IN SECRET SHALL

REWARD THEE OPENLY.

BUT WHEN YE PRAY,

USE NOT VAIN 

REPETITIONS, 

AS THE HEATHEN DO: 

FOR THEY THINK 

THAT 

THEY SHALL BE HEARD 

FOR 

THEIR MUCH SPEAKING. 

BE NOT YE THEREFORE 

LIKE UNTO THEM: 

FOR 

YOUR FATHER 

KNOWETH 

WHAT THINGS YE 

HAVE NEED OF, 

BEFORE YE ASK HIM. 

AFTER THIS MANNER

THEREFORE PRAY YE:

OUR FATHER

WHICH ART IN HEAVEN,

HOLLOWED BE THY NAME.
