1 Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven. | | 2 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 unto you, They have their reward. | | 3 But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth: | | 4 That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly. | | 5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. | | 6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. | | 7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. | | 8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him. | | 9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. | | 10 Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. | | 11 Give us this day our daily bread. | | 12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. | | 13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. | | 14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: | | 15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. | 16 Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. | | 17 But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face; | | 18 That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly. | | 19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: | | 20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: | | 21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. | | 22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. | | 23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness! | | 24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. | | 25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? | I say Matthew 5:22-28; Luke 12:4,5,8,9,22 | | Take Matthew 6:31,34; Matthew 10:19; Matthew 13:22; Psalms 55:22; Mark 4:19; Mark 13:11; Luke 8:14; Luke 10:40,41; Luke 12:22,23,25,26,29; 1 Corinthians 7:32; Philippians 4:6; 2 Timothy 2:4; Hebrews 13:5,6; 1 Peter 5:7 | | Is not Luke 12:23; Romans 8:32 | | |
| 26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? | | 27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? | | 28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: | | 29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. | | 30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? | | 31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? | | 32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. | | 33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. | seek 1 Kings 3:11-13; 1 Kings 17:13; 2 Chronicles 1:7-12; 2 Chronicles 31:20,21; Proverbs 2:1-9; Proverbs 3:9,10; Haggai 1:2-11; Haggai 2:16-19; Luke 12:31; John 6:27 | | the kingdom Matthew 3:2; Matthew 4:17; Matthew 13:44-46; Acts 20:25; Acts 28:31; Romans 14:17; Colossians 1:13,14; 2 Thessalonians 1:5; 2 Peter 1:11 | | his Matthew 5:6; Isaiah 45:24; Jeremiah 23:6; Luke 1:6; Romans 1:17; Romans 3:21,22; Romans 10:3; 1 Corinthians 1:30; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Philippians 3:9; 2 Peter 1:1 | | and all Matthew 19:29; Leviticus 25:20,21; Psalms 34:9,10; Psalms 37:3,18,19,25; Psalms 84:11,12; Mark 10:30; Luke 18:29,30; Romans 8:31; 1 Corinthians 3:22; 1 Timothy 4:8 | | |
| 34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. | |
