Matthew 6:16-19

16“1WheneverG3752 you fastG3522, do not putG1096 on a gloomyG4659 faceG4659 as the hypocritesG5273 do, for they 2neglectG853 their appearanceG4383 soG3704 that they will be noticedG5316 by menG444 when they are fastingG3522. 3TrulyG281 I sayG3004 to you, they haveG568 their rewardG3408 in fullG568. 17But you, when you fastG3522, 4anointG218 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 5FatherG3962 whoG3588 seesG991 what is done in secretG2931 will rewardG591 you.

19“6Do not storeG2343 up for yourselvesG4771 treasuresG2344 on earthG1093, whereG3699 mothG4597 and rustG1035 destroyG853, and whereG3699 thievesG2812 breakG1358 in and stealG2813.
