Is it okay to read the Bible in public?

”“Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.” — ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭1‬‬

I was talking to my friend about whether it is right to read the Bible in public. She based her position on Matthew 6:1. But I think that verse is talking more about the motivation TO BE SEEN than about reading the Bible itself in public.

What do you think?
