Let us Pray - Where, how & why?

Matthew 6:1-4; 

Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven. So, when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honoured by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

马太福音 6:1-4

  • 1 “你们要小心，不可将你们的义行在人前，故意叫他们看见；若是这样，就不能得你们天父的赏赐了。
  • 2 所以，你施舍给穷人的时候，不可在前面吹号，像那假冒为善的人在会堂里和街道上所行的，为要得人的荣耀。我实在告诉你们，他们已经得了他们的赏赐。
  • 3 你施舍的时候，不要叫左手知道右手所做的，
  • 4 要叫你施舍的事行在暗中；你父在暗中察看，必然报答你。”

Matthew 6:5-8; 

And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you. And when you pray, do not heap up empty phrases as the Gentiles do, for they think that they will be heard for their many words.  Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.

  • 马太福音 6:5-8
  • 5 “你们祷告的时候，不可像那假冒为善的人；因为他们爱站在会堂里和十字路口上祷告，故意叫人看见。我实在告诉你们，他们已经得了他们的赏赐。
  • 6 你祷告的时候，要进你的内室，关上门，祷告你在暗中的父；你父在暗中察看，必然报答你。
  • 7 你们祷告，不可像外邦人，用许多重复空洞的话；他们以为话多了必蒙垂听。
  • 8 你们不可效法他们；因为你们没有祈求以先，你们所需用的，你们的父早已知道了。”
