Let's study together Mt.6:1-18. Read it to yourself, first looking for the key verse, the verse that sums up the whole passage. Think you have it? Test it by picking different places in the passage and asking yourself if they relate to the thought of the key verse. Once you find it, write it as Roman numeral One of your outline:
Gardez-vous de pratiquer votre justice devant les hommes, pour en être vus
What does « practicing your righteousness »mean? Does the passage give any examples? What area of our lives is being addressed? Our motives! What sub-headings develop this thought?
Quand tu fais l'aumône
Quand tu jeûnes
Quand tu pries
Maintenant, complétons notre ébauche avec les instructions permettant d'éviter les mauvaises façons de pratiquer notre justice :
Quand vous donnez
don't sound a trumpet. (how might someone « sound a trumpet »today?)
que ton aumône se fasse en secret.
etc.
