Matthew 6:16-25

16And whenG3752 ye fastG3522, be not as the hypocritesG5273, downcast in countenance; for they disfigure their facesG4383, so that they may appearG5316 fastingG3522 to menG444: verily I sayG3004 unto you, They have their rewardG3408.

17But thou, [when] fastingG3522, anointG218 thy headG2776 and washG3538 thy faceG4383,

18so that thou mayest not appearG5316 fastingG3522 unto menG444, but to thy FatherG3962 who is in secretG2927; and thy FatherG3962 who seesG991 in secretG2927 shall renderG591 [it] to thee.

19Lay not up for yourselvesG4771 treasuresG2344 upon the earthG1093, whereG3699 mothG4597 and rustG1035 spoils, and whereG3699 thievesG2812 dig through and stealG2813;

20but lay up for yourselvesG4771 treasuresG2344 in heavenG3772, whereG3699 neither mothG4597 nor rustG1035 spoils, and whereG3699 thievesG2812 do not dig through nor stealG2813;

21for whereG3699 thy treasureG2344 isG1510, there will beG1510 alsoG2532 thy heartG2588.

22The lampG3088 of the bodyG4983 isG1510 the eyeG3788; if thereforeG3767 thine eyeG3788 beG1510 single, thy wholeG3650 bodyG4983 will beG1510 lightG5460:

23but if thine eyeG3788 beG1510 wickedG4190, thy wholeG3650 bodyG4983 will beG1510 darkG4652. If thereforeG3767 the lightG5457 that isG1510 in thee beG1510 darknessG4655, howG4214 great the darknessG4655!

24No oneG1520 can serveG1398 twoG1417 mastersG2962; for either he will hateG3404 the oneG1520 and will loveG25 the otherG2087, or he will hold to the oneG1520 and despiseG2706 the otherG2087. Ye cannot serveG1398 1GodG2316 and mammon.

25For this cause I sayG3004 unto you, Do not beG1510 careful about your lifeG5590, what ye should eatG2068 and what ye should drink; nor for your bodyG4983 what ye should putG1746 on. IsG1510 not the lifeG5590 moreG4183 than foodG5160, and the bodyG4983 than raiment?
