1 Take G4337 heed not to do your alms before men G444 to be seen G2300 of them , otherwise ye have no reward μισθὸν misthon G3408 with your Father πατρὶ patri G3962 who is in the heavens 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 , so that they may have glory from men G444 . Verily I say λέγω legō G3004 unto you , They have their reward μισθὸν misthon G3408 . 5 And when ὅταν hotan G3752 thou prayest, thou shalt not be ἔσεσθε esesthe G1510 as the hypocrites G5273 ; for they love φιλοῦσιν philousin G5368 to pray G4336 standing G2476 in the synagogues G4864 and in the corners γωνίαις gōniais G1137 of the streets πλατειῶν plateiōn G4116 so that they should appear G5316 to men G444 . Verily I say λέγω legō G3004 unto you , They have their reward μισθὸν misthon G3408 . 6 But thou, when ὅταν hotan G3752 thou prayest, enter εἴσελθε eiselthe G1525 into thy 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 sees βλέπων blepōn G991 in secret κρυπτῷ kruptō G2927 will render G591 [ it ] to thee. 7 But when ye pray προσευχόμενοι proseuchomenoi G4336 , use not vain repetitions, as those who are of the nations: for they think δοκοῦσιν dokousin G1380 they shall be heard through their much speaking. 8 Be not ye therefore οὖν oun G3767 like them , for your Father πατὴρ patēr G3962 knows of what things ὧν hōn G3739 ye have need χρείαν chreian G5532 before ye beg [anything] of him . 9 Thus therefore οὖν oun G3767 pray προσεύχεσθε proseuchesthe G4336 ye: Our Father πάτερ pater G3962 who art in the heavens οὐρανοῖς, ouranois G3772 , let thy name ὄνομά onoma G3686 be sanctified G37 , 10 let thy kingdom βασιλεία basileia G932 come ἐλθέτω elthetō G2064 , let thy will be done as in heaven οὐρανῷ ouranō G3772 so upon the earth γῆς· gēs G1093 ; 12 and forgive ἄφες aphes G863 us our debts , as we also G2532 forgive ἀφήκαμεν aphēkamen G863 our debtors ὀφειλέταις opheiletais G3781 , 13 and lead εἰσενέγκῃς eisenegkēs G1533 us not into temptation πειρασμόν, peirasmon G3986 , but save us from evil πονηροῦ ponērou G4190 . 14 For if ye forgive ἀφῆτε aphēte G863 men G444 their offences, your heavenly οὐράνιος. ouranios G3770 Father πατὴρ patēr G3962 also καὶ kai G2532 will forgive ἀφήσει aphēsei G863 you [ yours ], 15 but if ye do not forgive ἀφῆτε aphēte G863 men G444 their offences, neither will your Father πατὴρ patēr G3962 forgive ἀφήσει aphēsei G863 your offences. 16 And when G3752 ye fast νηστεύητε, nēsteuēte G3522 , be not as the hypocrites G5273 , downcast in countenance; for they disfigure their faces G4383 , so that they may appear φανῶσιν phanōsin G5316 fasting νηστεύοντες. nēsteuontes G3522 to men G444 : verily I say λέγω legō G3004 unto you , They have their reward μισθὸν misthon G3408 . 17 But thou, [ when ] fasting νηστεύων nēsteuōn G3522 , anoint ἄλειψαί aleipsai G218 thy head κεφαλὴν kephalēn G2776 and wash νίψαι nipsai G3538 thy face πρόσωπόν prosōpon G4383 , 18 so that thou mayest not appear φανῇς phanēas G5316 fasting νηστεύων nēsteuōn G3522 unto men G444 , but to thy Father πατρί patri G3962 who is in secret G2927 ; and thy Father πατήρ patēr G3962 who sees βλέπων blepōn G991 in secret G2927 shall render G591 [ it ] to thee. 24 No one ἕνα hena G1520 can serve δουλεύειν· douleuein G1398 two δυσὶ dusi G1417 masters κυρίοις kuriois G2962 ; for either he will hate μισήσει misēsei G3404 the one ἑνὸς henos G1520 and will love ἀγαπήσει agapēsei G25 the other ἕτερον heteron G2087 , or he will hold to the one G1520 and despise καταφρονήσει. kataphronēsei G2706 the other ἑτέρου heterou G2087 . Ye cannot serve δουλεύειν douleuein G1398 God θεῷ theō G2316 and mammon. 25 For this cause I say λέγω legō G3004 unto you , Do not be G1510 careful about your life ψυχῇ psuchēa G5590 , what ye should eat G2068 and what ye should drink; nor for your body σώματι sōmati G4983 what ye should put ἐνδύσησθε. endusēsthe G1746 on . Is G1510 not the life ψυχὴ psuchē G5590 more G4183 than food τροφῆς trophēs G5160 , and the body σῶμα sōma G4983 than raiment? 26 Look G1689 at the birds πετεινὰ peteina G4071 of the heaven G3772 , that they sow σπείρουσιν speirousin G4687 not , nor reap θερίζουσιν therizousin G2325 , nor gather συνάγουσιν sunagousin G4863 into granaries, and your heavenly οὐράνιος ouranios G3770 Father πατὴρ patēr G3962 nourishes them . Are ye not much more G3123 excellent than they ? 27 But which of you by carefulness can add προσθεῖναι prostheinai G4369 to his growth one ἕνα; hena G1520 cubit? 28 And why τί ti G5101 are ye careful about clothing ἐνδύματος endumatos G1742 ? Observe with attention 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 but I say λέγω legō G3004 unto you , that not even οὐδὲ oude G3761 Solomon Σολομὼν Solomōn G4672 in all his glory δόξῃ doxē G1391 was clothed as one ἓν hen G1520 of these . 30 But if God θεὸς theos G2316 so clothe the herbage of the field ἀγροῦ, agrou G68 , which is G1510 to-day, and to-morrow is G1510 cast G906 into [ the ] oven, will he not much πολλῷ pollō G4183 rather G3123 you , O [ye] of little faith? 31 Be not therefore οὖν oun G3767 careful, saying λέγοντες· legontes G3004 , What shall we eat G2068 ? or What shall we drink πίωμεν piōmen G4095 ? or What shall we put on ? 32 for all these things G3778 the nations G1484 seek ἐπιζητοῦσιν· epizētousin G1934 after ; for your heavenly οὐράνιος ouranios G3770 Father πατὴρ patēr G3962 knows that ye have need χρῄζετε chrēzete G5535 of all these things G3778 . 33 But seek ζητεῖτε zēteite G2212 ye first πρῶτον prōton G4413 the kingdom βασιλείαν basileian G932 of God and his righteousness δικαιοσύνην dikaiosunēn G1343 , and all these things ταῦτα tauta G3778 shall be added προστεθήσεται prostethēsetai G4369 unto you . 34 Be not careful therefore οὖν oun G3767 for the morrow, for the morrow shall be careful about itself . Sufficient ἀρκετὸν arketon G713 to the day ἡμέρᾳ hēmera G2250 [ is ] its own G1438 evil G2549 . ← Matthew 5 Matthew 7 → Commentaries on Matthew 6 Darby Bible — 1889 — Public Domain
