Do not do your alms before men, that they may see you.

When you give alms, let not your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your alms may be in secret; and your Father, who sees in secret, will reward you openly.

Be merciful, even as your Father is merciful.

Thus one should show mercy to one's weak and feeble brethren. The same is said about prayer. You can't pray for people, so that people see you. This is hypocrisy and stupidity. It's as if we turn to one person for help, and we expect help from another. So we would be deceiving both of them. But people can be deceived, but God can never be deceived. That is why the son of the Kingdom, when he prays to the Heavenly Father, forgets about people and does not think about them, according to the commandment of the Lord:

And when you pray to God, do not be like the hypocrites, who love to stop and pray in synagogues and on street corners in order to show themselves before people... But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy chamber (that is, into thy heart), and shutting thy door (that is, all thy senses), pray unto thy Father who is in secret; and your Father, who sees in secret, will reward you openly.

Watch and pray that you may not fall into temptation.

This kind (i.e. demonic) is expelled only by prayer and fasting.

This commandment also applies to fasting. The sons of the kingdom should not fast for show to people, as if they expect praise and reward from people, but in order to appear fasting not before men, but before your Father who is in secret; and your Father, who sees in secret, will reward you openly.

The sons of the kingdom should not be double-minded, they should not divide their hearts and serve two masters like the sons of darkness: You cannot serve God and mammon.

Freed from slavery to Satan, the sons of the kingdom must now consider returning to their home, to their Father, who awaits them with parental love. But no matter how impatiently He waits for them, He will not accept those who are dirty, unrepentant, hypocritical, double-minded, and clinging to the ground. That is why the Lover of mankind commands further: "Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in and steal, for where your treasure is, there will your heart also be."

A true son of the Kingdom soberly and consciously forgets everything that has been, and intently looks only at the King, his Heavenly Father, and hastens into His embrace, and adorns himself, and puts on all the virtues, in order to be recognized and recognized on the threshold of the Kingdom of Heaven, and therefore he has no time to look at the vices and iniquities of others, nor to condemn and judge the faults of others.

Do not judge, that you may not be judged.

For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged; and with what measure you measure, it will be measured to you also.

And why do you look at the mote in your brother's eye, and do not feel the beam in your own eye?
