Matthew 6:16, 17, 18

Matthew 6:16 NLT

“And when you fast, don’t make it obvious, as the hypocrites do, for they try to look miserable and disheveled so people will admire them for their fasting. I tell you the truth, that is the only reward they will ever get.

Matthew 6:17 NLT

But when you fast, comb your hair and wash your face.

Matthew 6:18 NLT

Then no one will notice that you are fasting, except your Father, who knows what you do in private. And your Father, who sees everything, will reward you.
