Matthew 6:5-6
New King James Version
The Model Prayer(A)
5 “And when you pray, you shall not be like the [a]hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. 6 But you, when you pray, (B)go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you [b]openly.

Beware of the Scribes(A)
38 Then (B)He said to them in His teaching, (C)“Beware of the scribes, who desire to go around in long robes, (D)love greetings in the marketplaces, 39 the (E)best seats in the synagogues, and the best places at feasts, 40 (F)who devour widows’ houses, and [a]for a pretense make long prayers. These will receive greater condemnation.”
