3. 16Kapag kayo'y nag-aayuno, huwag
kayong magmukhang malungkot
tulad ng mga mapagkunwari. Hindi
sila nag-aayos ng sarili upang
mapansin ng mga tao na sila'y nag-
aayuno. Tandaan ninyo: tinanggap na
nila ang kanilang gantimpala.
4. 17Sa halip, kapag nag-aayuno
ka, maghilamos ka, lagyan mo
ng langis at ayusin mo ang
iyong buhok
5. 18upang huwag mapansin ng mga
tao na ikaw ay nag-aayuno. Ang
iyong Ama na hindi mo nakikita
ang tanging makakaalam nito.
Siya, na nakakakita ng ginagawa
mo nang lihim, ang siyang
magbibigay ng gantimpala sa iyo.
