Beginning in the 6th chapter, Jesus shifts focus from the inner righteousness of the heart to the outer display of that righteousness. He cites three examples which correlate to our relationship with others, with God, and with ourselves.

This in turn, determines the richness of our relationships with others and the reward that we receive.
