KJV ORIGINAL
But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE
But when you pray, go somewhere private — your room, wherever you can be alone. Close the door and talk to God in secret. Your Father sees everything you do in private, and he'll make sure you're taken care of in ways everyone can see.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
God values your private conversations with him more than your public performances.
