Matthew 6:5

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Read in KJV Bible Reader

Matthew 6:5. Thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

All they will ever get. People say, "What a wonderfully pious man he is to pray up at the street corner." Ay, but that is the reward. The prayer will die where it was offered.
