Jesus warned his disciples against such playacting: “Take good care not to practice your righteousness in front of men in order to be observed by them; otherwise you will have no reward with your Father who is in the heavens. ” ​ — Matthew 6: 1.
तुम मनुष्यों को दिखाने के लिए अपने धर्म के काम न करो, नहीं तो अपने स्वर्गीय पिता से कुछ भी फल न पाओगे । ” — मत्ती ६: १.
