Matthew 6:16-25

16And when ye fast, be not as the hypocrites, downcast in countenance; for they disfigure their faces, so that they may appear fasting to men: verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

17But thou, [when] fasting, anoint thy head and wash thy face,

18so that thou mayest not appear fasting unto men, but to thy Father who is in secret; and thy Father who sees in secret shall render [it] to thee.

19Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon the earth, where moth and rust spoils, and where thieves dig through and steal;

20but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust spoils, and where thieves do not dig through nor steal;

21for where thy treasure is, there will be also thy heart.

22The lamp of the body is the eye; if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body will be light:

23but if thine eye be wicked, thy whole body will be dark. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great the darkness!

24No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and will love the other, or he will hold to the one and despise the other. Ye cannot serve 1God and mammon.

25For this cause I say unto you, Do not be careful about your life, what ye should eat and what ye should drink; nor for your body what ye should put on. Is not the life more than food, and the body than raiment?
