Reading Matthew 6:16-18, NIV
Map: fast in secret, do not show off or display piety or gain sympathy, fast in secret…your Father, who is unseen; and your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
Matthew 6:16-18, GNB
[16]“And when you fast, do not put on a sad face as the hypocrites do. They neglect their appearance so that everyone will see that they are fasting. I assure you, they have already been paid in full.
[17]When you go without food, wash your face and comb your hair,
[18]so that others cannot know that you are fasting — only your Father, who is unseen, will know. And your Father, who sees what you do in private, will reward you.
