2. Yep. Matthew 6:5.

You are right. Matthew 6:1-6:
"Take heed that you do not your alms before men, to be seen by them, otherwise ye have no reward from your Father in heaven....Therefore, when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth: That thine alms may be in secret, and thy Father who seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are, for they love to pray standing...in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men, but thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut the door, pray to thy Father in secret, and thy Father who seest secretly shall reward thee openly."
