Matthew 6:1-24

1TakeG4337 heed that ye do not your righteousnessG1343 before menG444, to be seenG2300 of them: else ye have no rewardG3408 with your FatherG3962 who is in heavenG3772.

2WhenG3752 thereforeG3767 thou doest almsG1654, soundG4537 not a trumpetG4537 before thee, as the hypocritesG5273 do in the synagoguesG4864 and in the streetsG4505, that they may have glory of menG444. Verily I sayG3004 unto you, They have received their rewardG3408. 3But when thou doest almsG1654, let not thy left handG1188 knowG1097 what thy rightG1188 handG1188 doeth: 4that thine almsG1654 may beG1510 in secretG2927: and thy FatherG3962 who seeth in secretG2927 shall recompense thee.

5And whenG3752 ye prayG4336, ye shall not beG1510 as the hypocritesG5273: for they loveG5368 to standG2476 and prayG4336 in the synagoguesG4864 and in the cornersG1137 of the streetsG4116, that they may beG1510 seen of menG444. Verily I sayG3004 unto you, They have received their rewardG3408. 6But thou, whenG3752 thou prayest, enterG1525 into thine innerG5009 chamber, and having shutG2808 thy doorG2374, prayG4336 to thy FatherG3962 who is in secretG2927, and thy FatherG3962 who seeth in secretG2927 shall recompense thee. 7And in prayingG4336 use not vain repetitions, as the Gentiles do: for they thinkG1380 that they shall be heard for their much speaking. 8Be not thereforeG3767 like unto them: for your FatherG3962 knoweth what thingsG3739 ye have needG5532 of, before ye askG154 him. 9After this mannerG3779 thereforeG3767 prayG4336 ye: Our FatherG3962 who art in heavenG3772, HallowedG37 be thy nameG3686. 10Thy kingdomG932 comeG2064. Thy will be done, as in heavenG3772, so on earthG1093. 11GiveG1325 us this dayG4594 our dailyG1967 breadG740. 12And forgiveG863 us our debts, as we alsoG2532 have forgivenG863 our debtorsG3781. 13And bringG1533 us not into temptationG3986, but deliverG4506 us from the evilG4190 oneG3588. 14For if ye forgiveG863 menG444 their trespassesG3900, your heavenlyG3770 FatherG3962 will alsoG2532 forgiveG863 you. 15But if ye forgiveG863 not menG444 their trespassesG3900, neither will your FatherG3962 forgiveG863 your trespassesG3900.

16Moreover whenG3752 ye fastG3522, be not, as the hypocritesG5273, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their facesG4383, that they may be seen of menG444 to fastG3522. Verily I sayG3004 unto you, They have received their rewardG3408. 17But thou, when thou fastest, anointG218 thy headG2776, and washG3538 thy faceG4383; 18that thou be not seenG991 of menG444 to fastG3522, but of thy FatherG3962 who is in secretG2927: and thy FatherG3962, who seeth in secretG2927, shall recompense thee.

19Lay not up for yourselvesG4771 treasuresG2344 upon the earthG1093, whereG3699 mothG4597 and rustG1035 consume, and whereG3699 thievesG2812 breakG1358 through and stealG2813: 20but lay up for yourselvesG4771 treasuresG2344 in heavenG3772, whereG3699 neither mothG4597 nor rustG1035 doth consume, and whereG3699 thievesG2812 do not breakG1358 through nor stealG2813: 21for whereG3699 thy treasureG2344 isG1510, there will thy heartG2588 beG1510 alsoG2532. 22The lampG3088 of the bodyG4983 isG1510 the eyeG3788: if thereforeG3767 thine eyeG3788 beG1510 single, thy wholeG3650 bodyG4983 shall beG1510 full of lightG5460. 23But if thine eyeG3788 beG1510 evilG4190, thy wholeG3650 bodyG4983 shall beG1510 full of darknessG4655. If thereforeG3767 the lightG5457 that isG1510 in thee beG1510 darknessG4655, howG4214 great isG1510 the darknessG4655! 24No man can serveG1398 twoG1417 mastersG2962: for either he will hateG3404 the oneG1520, and loveG25 the otherG2087; or else he will hold to oneG1520, and despiseG2706 the otherG2087. Ye cannot serveG1398 GodG2316 and mammon.
