Matthew 6:1-27 ▼

1 “ And beware not to do your? righteousness before men in order to be seen by them. Otherwise, you? have no reward from your? Father who is in the heavens.

2 Therefore, when you may do charity, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets so that they may be glorified by men. Truly I say to you?, they have their reward in full.

3 But in your doing charity, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,

4 so that your charity may be in secret. And your Father, the One seeing in secret, will reward to you.

5 And when you? may pray, you? shall not be like the hypocrites, because they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets so that they might be seen by men. Truly I say to you?, they have their reward in full.

6 But you, when you may pray, enter into your inner room, and having shut your door, pray to your Father, the One in secret. And your Father, the One seeing in secret, will reward to you.

7 And praying, do not use vain repetitions like the Gentiles, for they think that in their many words they will be heard.

8 Therefore do not be like them, for your? Father knows of what things you? have need before your? asking Him.

9 Therefore pray you? this way: ‘Our Father who is in the heavens, hallowed be Your name.

10 Your kingdom come. Your will be done, as in heaven, also upon earth.

11 Give us today our necessary bread.

12 And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.

13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.’

14 For if you? forgive men their trespasses, your? heavenly Father will also forgive you?.

15 But if you? do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your? Father forgive your? trespasses.

16 And when you? may fast, do not be as the hypocrites, gloomy-faced; for they disfigure their faces so that they might appear to men as fasting. Truly I say to you?, they have their reward in full.

17 But you, fasting, anoint your head and wash your face,

18 so that you might not appear to men as fasting, but to your Father, the One in secret. And your Father, the One seeing in secret, will reward you.

19 Do not treasure up for yourselves treasures on the earth, where moth and rust disfigure, and where thieves break in and steal.

20 But treasure up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust disfigure, and where thieves do not break in, nor do they steal.

21 For where your treasure is, there will be also your heart.

22 The lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore if your eye is sound, your whole body will be full of light.

23 But if your eye is evil, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light that is in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!

24 No one is able to serve two masters. For either he will hate the one and he will love the other, or he will hold to one and he will despise the other. You? are not able to serve God and mammon.

25 Because of this I say to you?, do not be anxious for your? life, what you? might eat or what you? might drink, nor for your? body, what you? might put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?

26 Look at the birds of the sky, that they do not sow, nor do they reap, nor do they gather into barns, and your? heavenly Father feeds them. Are you? not much more valuable than they?

27 And who of you?, being anxious, is able to add to his lifespan one cubit?
