Jesus is talking to a group of people about what they as individuals should and should not do. All occurrences of "you" and "your" in verses 5 and 7 are plural; in verse 6 they are singular, but in some languages they may need to be plural. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-you)
Connecting Statement:
Jesus begins to teach about prayer.
so that they may be seen by people
It is implied that those who see them will give them honor. This can be stated in active form. Alternate translation: "so that people will see them and give them honor" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit and rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive)
Truly I say to you
"I tell you the truth." This phrase adds emphasis to what Jesus says next.
