Yeshua (ישוע) deals practical Tzedek in and individual

as charitable deeds

6:1 Take heed that you do not your mitzvot before men, to be seen by them: otherwise you have no reward of your Abba which is in Shamayim.

6:2 Therefore when you doest [your] mitzvot, do not sound a shofar before thee, as the hypocrites do in the shuls and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say to you, They have their reward.

6:3 But when you doest mitzvot, let not your left hand know what your right hand doeth:

6:4 That thine mitzvot may be in secret: and your Abba which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.

Deals with prayer Luke 11:2-4

6:5 And when you prayest, you shalt not be as the hypocrites [are]: for they love to pray standing in the Shuls and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say to you, They have their reward.

6:6 But you, when you prayest, enter into your closet, and when you hast shut your door, pray to your Abba which is in secret; and your Abba which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.

6:7 But when you pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen [do]: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.

6:8 Be not you therefore like to them: for your Abba knoweth what things you have need of, before you ask him.

6:9 After this manner therefore pray ye:

Our Abba which art in Shamayim, Hallowed be your name.

6:10 Thy Malkut come. Thy ratzon be done in earth, as [it is] in Shamayim.

6:11 Give us this day our daily lechem.

6:12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

6:13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil:

For thine is the Malkut, and the power, and the tifereth, le olam va ed. Amein.

6:14 For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Abba will also forgive you:

6:15 But if you forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Abba forgive your trespasses.

Yeshua (ישוע)taught how to Fasting

6:16 Moreover when you fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear to men to fast. Verily I say to you, They have their reward.

6:17 But you, when you fastest, anoint thine head, and wash your face;

6:18 That you appear not to men to fast, but to your Abba which is in secret: and your Abba, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly.

Lay up Treasures in Heaven: Luke 12:33, 34

6:19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust does corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:

6:20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in Shamayim, where neither moth nor rust does corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:

6:21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

The light of the world : Luke 11:34-36

6:22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, your whole body shall be full of light.

Yeshua (ישוע)uses analogy of the human eye to teach on spiritual in sight

6:23 But if thine eye be evil, your whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great [is] that darkness!

6:24 No man can serve (oved, abad) two masters:

for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve Elohim (אלהים) and Mamona (money, wealth,ממונא).

Do not worry of earthly needs: seek His Kingdom first Luke 12:22-34; 16:13

6:25 Therefore I say to you, Take no thought for your life, what you shall eat, or what you shall drink; nor yet for your body, what you shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?

6:26 Hinnei the fowls of the air:

for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Abba feedeth them. Are you not much better than they?

6:27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit to his stature?

6:28 And why take you thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:

6:29 And yet I say to you, That even Shlomo in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

6:30 Wherefore, if Elohim (אלהים) so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, [shall he] not much more [clothe] you, O you of little faith?

6:31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?

6:32 (For after all these things do the Goyim seek:) for your heavenly Abba knoweth that you have need of all these things.

6:33 But seek you first the Malkut Elohim (אלהים), and His tzedek; and all these things shall be added to you.

6:34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient to the day [is] the evil thereof.

Reward : key phrase is repeated seven times in Matt 6:1-18

Abba mention 12 times

That thine alms may be in secret? May be done in secret, and be kept a secret. The allusion seems to be to the secret chamber, where money was brought privately for the relief of the poor. ``There were two chambers in the sanctuary, the one was (Myavx tkvl) , "the chamber of secrets", and the other the chamber of vessels: the chamber of secrets was that into which pious persons put (yavxb) , "in secret", and the poor children of good men were maintained out of it privately F17.''

The Jews say many things in favour of doing alms privately. ``Greater, (say they F18,) is he that gives alms (rtob) , in secret, than Moses our master.''

They tell us F19, that ``R. Jannai seeing a certain man give Zuz (a piece of money) to a poor man publicly, said to him, it would have been better, if you hadst not have given him anything, than to have given him in this manner.'' This was the practice of the ancient religious Jews, to give their alms privately; but the Scribes and Pharisees had brought that practice into disuse, and which our Lord labours to restore; adding, for encouragement,  

shall reward thee openly, ``that a man ought not to cause his voice to be heard in prayer; but should pray (vxlb) , "silently", with a voice that is not heard; and this is the prayer which is daily accepted
