Matthew 6

Giving to the Poor and Prayer

1“BewareG4337 of practicingG4160 your righteousnessG1343 beforeG1715 menG444 1to be noticedG2300 by them; otherwiseG1490 you haveG2192 noG3756 rewardG3408 with your FatherG3962 whoG3588 is in heavenG3772.

2“SoG3767 whenG3752 you 2giveG4160 to the poor, do not soundG4537 a trumpetG4537 beforeG1715 you, as the hypocritesG5273 doG4160 in the synagoguesG4864 and in the streetsG4505, soG3767 that they 3may be honoredG1392 by menG444. 4TrulyG281 I sayG3004 to you, they haveG568 their rewardG3408 in fullG568. 3But when you 5giveG4160 to the poor, do not let your leftG710 handG710 knowG1097 whatG5101 your rightG1188 handG1188 is doingG4160, 4soG3704 that your 6givingG1654 will be in secretG2927; and 7your FatherG3962 who seesG991 what is done in secretG2927 will rewardG591 you.

5“WhenG3752 you prayG4336, you are not to be likeG5613 the hypocritesG5273; for they loveG5368 to 8standG2476 and prayG4336 in the synagoguesG4864 and on the streetG4116 cornersG1137 910soG3704 that they may be seenG5316 by menG444. 11TrulyG281 I sayG3004 to you, they haveG568 their rewardG3408 in fullG568. 6But you, whenG3752 you prayG4336, 12goG1525 into your innerG5009 roomG5009, closeG2808 your doorG2374 and prayG4336 to your FatherG3962 whoG3588 is in secretG2927, and 13your FatherG3962 whoG3588 seesG991 what is done in secretG2927 will rewardG591 you.

7“And when you are prayingG4336, do not useG945 meaninglessG945 repetitionG945 as the GentilesG1482 do, for they supposeG1380 that they will be heardG1522 for their 14manyG4180 wordsG4180. 8SoG3767 do not be likeG3666 them; for 15your FatherG3962 knowsG3609 whatG3739 you needG5532 beforeG4253 you askG154 Him.

9“16PrayG4336, thenG3767, in thisG3779 wayG3779: ‘Our FatherG3962 whoG3588 is in heavenG3772, HallowedG37 be Your nameG3686.1017Your kingdomG932 comeG2064. 18Your willG2307 be doneG1096, On earthG1093 as it is in heavenG3772.1119GiveG1325 us thisG4594 dayG4594 20our dailyG1967 breadG740.12And 21forgiveG863 us our debtsG3783, as we alsoG2532 have forgivenG863 our debtorsG3781.13And do not leadG1533 us into temptationG3986, but 22deliverG4506 us from 2324evilG4190. 25[For YoursG4771 is the kingdomG932 and the powerG1411 and the gloryG1391 foreverG165. AmenG281.’] 1426For ifG1437 you forgiveG863 27othersG444 for their transgressionsG3900, your heavenlyG3770 FatherG3962 will alsoG2532 forgiveG863 you. 15But 28ifG1437 you do not forgiveG863 29othersG444, thenG3761 your FatherG3962 will not forgiveG863 your transgressionsG3900.

Fasting; The True Treasure; Wealth (Mammon)

16“30WheneverG3752 you fastG3522, do not putG1096 on a gloomyG4659 faceG4659 as the hypocritesG5273 do, for they 31neglectG853 their appearanceG4383 soG3704 that they will be noticedG5316 by menG444 when they are fastingG3522. 32TrulyG281 I sayG3004 to you, they haveG568 their rewardG3408 in fullG568. 17But you, when you fastG3522, 33anointG218 your headG2776 and washG3538 your faceG4383 18soG3704 that your fastingG3522 will not be noticedG5316 by menG444, but by your FatherG3962 whoG3588 is in secretG2931; and your 34FatherG3962 whoG3588 seesG991 what is done in secretG2931 will rewardG591 you.

19“35Do not storeG2343 up for yourselvesG4771 treasuresG2344 on earthG1093, whereG3699 mothG4597 and rustG1035 destroyG853, and whereG3699 thievesG2812 breakG1358 in and stealG2813. 20But storeG2343 up for yourselvesG4771 36treasuresG2344 in heavenG3772, whereG3699 neitherG3777 mothG4597 norG3777 rustG1035 destroysG853, and whereG3699 thievesG2812 do not breakG1358 in orG3761 stealG2813; 21for 37whereG3699 your treasureG2344 is, thereG1563 your heartG2588 will be alsoG2532.

22“38The eyeG3788 is the lampG3088 of the bodyG4983; soG3767 thenG3767 ifG1437 your eyeG3788 is 39clearG573, your wholeG3650 bodyG4983 will be fullG5460 of lightG5460. 23But ifG1437 40your eyeG3788 is 41badG4190, your wholeG3650 bodyG4983 will be fullG4652 of darknessG4652. IfG1487 thenG3767 the lightG5457 that is in you is darknessG4655, howG4214 greatG4214 is the darknessG4655!

24“42NoG3762 oneG3762 canG1410 serveG1398 twoG1417 mastersG2962; for eitherG2228 he will hateG3404 the oneG1520 and loveG25 the otherG2087, orG2228 he will be devotedG472 to oneG1520 and despiseG2706 the otherG2087. You cannotG1410G3756 serveG1398 GodG2316 and 4344wealthG3126.

The Cure for Anxiety

25“45For thisG3778 reasonG1223 I sayG3004 to you, 46do not be 47worriedG3309 aboutG3588 your 48lifeG5590, as to whatG5101 you will eatG2068 orG2228 whatG5101 you will drinkG4095; norG3366 for your bodyG4983, as to whatG5101 you will putG1746 on. Is not lifeG5590 moreG4183 than foodG5160, and the bodyG4983 moreG4183 than clothingG1742? 2649LookG1689 at the birdsG4071 of the 50airG3772, that they do not sowG4687, norG3761 reapG2325 norG3761 gatherG4863 into barnsG596, and yet your heavenlyG3770 FatherG3962 feedsG5142 them. Are you not worthG1308 muchG3123 moreG1308 than they? 27And whoG5101 of you by being 51worriedG3309 canG1410 52addG4369 a single 53hourG4083 to his 54lifeG2244? 28And whyG5101 are you 55worriedG3309 aboutG4012 clothingG1742? ObserveG2648 howG4459 the liliesG2918 of the fieldG68 growG837; they do not toilG2872 norG3761 do they spinG3514, 29yetG1161 I sayG3004 to you that not evenG3761 56SolomonG4672 in allG3956 his gloryG1391 clothedG4016 himself likeG5613 oneG1520 of theseG3778. 30But ifG1487 GodG2316 soG3779 clothesG294 the 57grassG5528 of the fieldG68, which is alive todayG4594 and tomorrowG839 is thrownG906 into the furnaceG2823, will He not muchG4183 moreG3123 clothe you? 58You of littleG3640 faithG3640! 31Do not 59worryG3309 thenG3767, sayingG3004, ‘WhatG5101 will we eatG2068?’ orG2228 ‘WhatG5101 will we drinkG4095?’ orG2228 ‘WhatG5101 will we wearG4016 for clothingG4016?’ 32For the GentilesG1484 eagerlyG1934 seekG1934 allG3956 theseG3778 thingsG3778; for 60your heavenlyG3770 FatherG3962 knowsG3609 that you needG5535 allG537 theseG3778 thingsG3778. 33But 61seekG2212 firstG4413 62His kingdomG932 and His righteousnessG1343, and 63allG3956 theseG3778 thingsG3778 will be 64addedG4369 to you.

34“SoG3767 do not 65worryG3309 aboutG1519 tomorrowG839; for tomorrowG839 will 66careG3309 for itselfG1438. 67Each dayG2250 has enoughG713 troubleG2549 of its own.
