Matthew 6:2-18
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.
