    “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full.“ Matthew 6:5, NIV

    Now, I don’t make a habit of quoting holy books, but it certainly can have some absolute zingers if you know even A LITTLE of its content and can spot hypocrisy.

      I don’t get it. Says “do not be like the hypocrites” but then says gOdd rewards the hypocrites.

        The way I read it, J-Bro tells his homies that the only reward people who only pray to show off to others will get is the knowledge that others have seen them pray, nothing more.
