# General Information:

Jesus is talking to a group of people about what they as individuals should or should not do. All occurrences of "you" and "your" are singular, though in some languages they may also need to be translated as plural. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-you]])

# Father who is in secret
