“When you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, who love to stand and pray in
the synagogues and on street corners so that others may see them. Amen, I say
to you, they have received their reward. But when you pray, go to your inner
room, close the door, and pray to your Father in secret. And your Father who
sees in secret will repay you.
“When you fast, do not look gloomy like the hypocrites. They neglect their appearance, so that they may appear to others to be fasting. Amen, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, so that you may not appear to others to be fasting, except to your Father who is hidden. And your Father who sees what is hidden will repay you.”

Dili na kinahanglan
na ipasiatab pa gajud nato an ato mga marajaw na binuhatan para hikit’an nan
mga tawo, laong pa ni Jesus kay an ato langitnon na Father ra an mosukli sa ato
mga taghimo.
Sa
paghatag ‘sab nan limos, dili na kinahanglan ianunsiyo pa ini parehas nan
taghimo nan mga ipokrito para sila dajigon nan mga tawo, kinahanglan isekreto
ra an paghatag nan limos kay hingkit’an man ini ni God sanan Sija na’y mahibayo
sa binuhatan nan tawo.
Pero uno
man tuod na an paglimos, pagpangadje sanan pagpuasa man an pinaka-importante na
tagsulti ni Jesus na mga parte na ato sun’don na mga sugo ni God?
Kay amo
man ini an tuyo ka importante na mga binuhatan nan tinood na taga-sunod ni
Christ na hingkit’an na mga sinyales sa mga relihiyuso na mga tawo.
Ugsa
gajud na kinahanglan dili nato hikalim’tan inin tuyo ka mga binuhatan nan
tinood na Kristiyanos.
