Matthew 6:19-29

19“1Do 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 2treasuresG2344 in heavenG3772, whereG3699 neitherG3777 mothG4597 norG3777 rustG1035 destroysG853, and whereG3699 thievesG2812 do not breakG1358 in orG3761 stealG2813; 21for 3whereG3699 your treasureG2344 is, thereG1563 your heartG2588 will be alsoG2532.

22“4The eyeG3788 is the lampG3088 of the bodyG4983; soG3767 thenG3767 ifG1437 your eyeG3788 is 5clearG573, your wholeG3650 bodyG4983 will be fullG5460 of lightG5460. 23But ifG1437 6your eyeG3788 is 7badG4190, your wholeG3650 bodyG4983 will be fullG4652 of darknessG4652. IfG1487 thenG3767 the lightG5457 that is in you is darknessG4655, howG4214 greatG4214 is the darknessG4655!

24“8NoG3762 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 cannotG1410 G3756 serveG1398 GodG2316 and 9 10wealthG3126.

25“11For thisG3778 reasonG1223 I sayG3004 to you, 12do not be 13worriedG3309 aboutG3588 your 14lifeG5590, 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? 26 15LookG1689 at the birdsG4071 of the 16airG3772, 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 17worriedG3309 canG1410 18addG4369 a single 19hourG4083 to his 20lifeG2244? 28And whyG5101 are you 21worriedG3309 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 22SolomonG4672 in allG3956 his gloryG1391 clothedG4016 himself likeG5613 oneG1520 of theseG3778.
