Matthew 6:16-25

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. 25Therefore I sayG3004 unto you, BeG1510 not anxiousG3309 for your lifeG5590, what ye shall eatG2068, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your bodyG4983, what ye shall putG1746 on. IsG1510 not the lifeG5590 moreG4183 than the foodG5160, and the bodyG4983 than the raiment?
