1 Take G4337 heed that ye do not your righteousness δικαιοσύνην dikaiosunēn G1343 before men G444 , to be seen G2300 of them : else ye have no reward μισθὸν misthon G3408 with your Father πατρὶ patri G3962 who is in heaven οὐρανοῖς.¶ ouranois G3772 . 2 When Ὅταν Hotan G3752 therefore οὖν oun G3767 thou doest alms G1654 , sound σαλπίσῃς salpisēs G4537 not a trumpet G4537 before thee, as the hypocrites G5273 do in the synagogues G4864 and in the streets G4505 , that they may have glory of men G444 . Verily I say λέγω legō G3004 unto you , They have received their reward μισθὸν misthon G3408 . 4 that thine alms G1654 may be ᾖ ē G1510 in secret κρυπτῷ. kruptō G2927 : and thy Father πατήρ patēr G3962 who seeth in secret κρυπτῷ kruptō G2927 shall recompense thee. 5 And when ὅταν hotan G3752 ye pray προσεύχησθε, proseuchēsthe G4336 , ye shall not be ἔσεσθε esesthe G1510 as the hypocrites G5273 : for they love φιλοῦσιν philousin G5368 to stand G2476 and pray προσεύχεσθαι proseuchesthai G4336 in the synagogues G4864 and in the corners γωνίαις gōniais G1137 of the streets πλατειῶν plateiōn G4116 , that they may be G1510 seen of men G444 . Verily I say λέγω legō G3004 unto you , They have received their reward μισθὸν misthon G3408 . 6 But thou, when ὅταν hotan G3752 thou prayest, enter εἴσελθε eiselthe G1525 into thine inner G5009 chamber, and having shut κλείσας kleisas G2808 thy door θύραν thuran G2374 , pray G4336 to thy Father πατρί patri G3962 who is in secret κρυπτῷ. kruptō G2927 , and thy Father πατήρ patēr G3962 who seeth in secret κρυπτῷ kruptō G2927 shall recompense thee. 7 And in praying προσευχόμενοι proseuchomenoi G4336 use not vain repetitions, as the Gentiles do : for they think δοκοῦσιν dokousin G1380 that they shall be heard for their much speaking. 8 Be not therefore οὖν oun G3767 like unto them : for your Father πατὴρ patēr G3962 knoweth what things ὧν hōn G3739 ye have need χρείαν chreian G5532 of , before ye ask αἰτῆσαι aitēsai G154 him . 9 After this manner G3779 therefore οὖν oun G3767 pray προσεύχεσθε proseuchesthe G4336 ye: Our Father πάτερ pater G3962 who art in heaven οὐρανοῖς, ouranois G3772 , Hallowed ἁγιασθήτω hagiasthētō G37 be thy name ὄνομά onoma G3686 . 10 Thy kingdom βασιλεία basileia G932 come ἐλθέτω elthetō G2064 . Thy will be done , as in heaven οὐρανῷ ouranō G3772 , so on earth γῆς· gēs G1093 . 16 Moreover when G3752 ye fast νηστεύητε, nēsteuēte G3522 , be not , as the hypocrites G5273 , of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces G4383 , that they may be seen of men G444 to fast νηστεύοντες. nēsteuontes G3522 . Verily I say λέγω legō G3004 unto you , They have received their reward μισθὸν misthon G3408 . 17 But thou, when thou fastest, anoint ἄλειψαί aleipsai G218 thy head κεφαλὴν kephalēn G2776 , and wash νίψαι nipsai G3538 thy face πρόσωπόν prosōpon G4383 ; 18 that thou be not seen βλέπων blepōn G991 of men G444 to fast νηστεύων nēsteuōn G3522 , but of thy Father πατρί patri G3962 who is in secret G2927 : and thy Father πατήρ patēr G3962 , who seeth in secret G2927 , shall recompense thee. 20 but lay up for yourselves G4771 treasures G2344 in heaven οὐρανῷ, ouranō G3772 , where ὅπου hopou G3699 neither moth σὴς sēs G4597 nor rust βρῶσις brōsis G1035 doth consume, and where ὅπου hopou G3699 thieves G2812 do not break διορύσσουσιν diorussousin G1358 through nor steal κλέπτουσιν· kleptousin G2813 : 24 No man can serve δουλεύειν· douleuein G1398 two δυσὶ dusi G1417 masters κυρίοις kuriois G2962 : for either he will hate μισήσει misēsei G3404 the one ἕνα hena G1520 , and love ἀγαπήσει agapēsei G25 the other ἕτερον heteron G2087 ; or else he will hold to one ἑνὸς henos G1520 , and despise καταφρονήσει. kataphronēsei G2706 the other ἑτέρου heterou G2087 . Ye cannot serve δουλεύειν douleuein G1398 God θεῷ theō G2316 and mammon. 25 Therefore I say λέγω legō G3004 unto you , Be G1510 not anxious μεριμνᾶτε merimnate G3309 for your life ψυχῇ psuchēa G5590 , what ye shall eat G2068 , or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body σώματι sōmati G4983 , what ye shall put ἐνδύσησθε. endusēsthe G1746 on . Is G1510 not the life ψυχὴ psuchē G5590 more G4183 than the food τροφῆς trophēs G5160 , and the body σῶμα sōma G4983 than the raiment? 26 Behold the birds πετεινὰ peteina G4071 of the heaven G3772 , that they sow σπείρουσιν speirousin G4687 not , neither do they reap θερίζουσιν therizousin G2325 , nor gather συνάγουσιν sunagousin G4863 into barns ἀποθήκας, apothēkas G596 ; and your heavenly οὐράνιος ouranios G3770 Father πατὴρ patēr G3962 feedeth them . Are not ye of much more G3123 value than they ? 27 And which of you by being anxious μεριμνῶν merimnōn G3309 can add προσθεῖναι prostheinai G4369 one ἕνα; hena G1520 cubit unto the measure of his life ? 28 And why τί ti G5101 are ye anxious μεριμνᾶτε; merimnate G3309 concerning G4012 raiment? Consider the lilies κρίνα krina G2918 of the field ἀγροῦ, agrou G68 , how πῶς pōs G4459 they grow αὐξάνουσιν· auxanousin G837 ; they toil G2872 not , neither do they spin νήθουσιν. nēthousin G3514 : 29 yet I say λέγω legō G3004 unto you , that even οὐδὲ oude G3761 Solomon Σολομὼν Solomōn G4672 in all his glory δόξῃ doxē G1391 was not arrayed like one ἓν hen G1520 of these . 30 But if God θεὸς theos G2316 doth so clothe the grass χόρτον chorton G5528 of the field ἀγροῦ, agrou G68 , which to-day is G1510 , and to-morrow is G1510 cast G906 into the oven, shall he not much πολλῷ pollō G4183 more μᾶλλον mallon G3123 clothe you , O ye of little faith? 31 Be not therefore οὖν oun G3767 anxious μεριμνήσητε merimnēsēte G3309 , saying λέγοντες· legontes G3004 , What shall we eat G2068 ? or , What shall we drink πίωμεν piōmen G4095 ? or , Wherewithal shall we be clothed ? 32 For after all these things G3778 do the Gentiles ἔθνη ethnē G1484 seek ἐπιζητοῦσιν· epizētousin G1934 ; for your heavenly οὐράνιος ouranios G3770 Father πατὴρ patēr G3962 knoweth that ye have need χρῄζετε chrēzete G5535 of all these things G3778 . 33 But seek ζητεῖτε zēteite G2212 ye first πρῶτον prōton G4413 his kingdom βασιλείαν basileian G932 , and his righteousness δικαιοσύνην dikaiosunēn G1343 ; and all these things ταῦτα tauta G3778 shall be added προστεθήσεται prostethēsetai G4369 unto you . 34 Be not therefore οὖν oun G3767 anxious μεριμνήσητε merimnēsēte G3309 for the morrow: for the morrow will be anxious μεριμνήσει merimnēsei G3309 for itself . Sufficient ἀρκετὸν arketon G713 unto the day ἡμέρᾳ hēmera G2250 is the evil G2549 thereof. ← Matthew 5 Matthew 7 → Commentaries on Matthew 6 American Standard Version — 1901 — Public Domain
