Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen by them; otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven. Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say they have received their reward.But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand does;
That thy alms may be in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.
And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites; for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. Verily I say they have received their reward.
But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father who is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
And in praying do not heap up empty phrases as the Gentiles, who think they will be heard for their much speaking.
Do not you therefore like to them; for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.
Therefore, you should pray: Our Father which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name;
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as in heaven;
The our daily bread Give us this day;
And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors; And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil; For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever. Amen.
For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will forgive you;
But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
And when you fast, not to show yourself as the hypocrites; for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say they have received their reward.
But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face;
Appear not to men that you are fasting, but to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. Do not lay up treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break through and steal;
But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal.
For where your treasure is, there will your heart
The lamp body is the eye; so that, if thine eye be single, thy whole body will be light;
But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body will be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness! No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or be devoted to one and despise the other. You can not serve God and mammon.
Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?
Behold the fowls of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?
And which of you by with all his thought can add one cubit to his stature?
And, about clothing, why do you walk solicitous? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; neither toil nor spin;
And I tell you that not even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, will not wear you much more you, O ye of little faith?
Go not therefore anxious, saying, What shall we eat, or who shall drink, or we be clothed?
(For after all these things the Gentiles seek). For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things;
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added.
No thought because, for tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
