I think it teaches us against hypocrisy in that when we are in the service of God we should do it willingly with a pure heart and not care about pleasing people or being seen

I think is very clear and perfect for those who do that to know that they are not serving God but men. So that by reading it they will understand the true way of serving Lord. Please I need chapters to teach how to get born again. Thanks.
