Matthew 6:8-32

8SoG3767 do not be likeG3666 them; for 1your FatherG3962 knowsG3609 whatG3739 you needG5532 beforeG4253 you askG154 Him.

9“2PrayG4336, thenG3767, in thisG3779 wayG3779: ‘Our FatherG3962 whoG3588 is in heavenG3772, HallowedG37 be Your nameG3686.103Your kingdomG932 comeG2064. 4Your willG2307 be doneG1096, On earthG1093 as it is in heavenG3772.115GiveG1325 us thisG4594 dayG4594 6our dailyG1967 breadG740.12And 7forgiveG863 us our debtsG3783, as we alsoG2532 have forgivenG863 our debtorsG3781.13And do not leadG1533 us into temptationG3986, but 8deliverG4506 us from 910evilG4190. 11[For YoursG4771 is the kingdomG932 and the powerG1411 and the gloryG1391 foreverG165. AmenG281.’] 1412For ifG1437 you forgiveG863 13othersG444 for their transgressionsG3900, your heavenlyG3770 FatherG3962 will alsoG2532 forgiveG863 you. 15But 14ifG1437 you do not forgiveG863 15othersG444, thenG3761 your FatherG3962 will not forgiveG863 your transgressionsG3900.

16“16WheneverG3752 you fastG3522, do not putG1096 on a gloomyG4659 faceG4659 as the hypocritesG5273 do, for they 17neglectG853 their appearanceG4383 soG3704 that they will be noticedG5316 by menG444 when they are fastingG3522. 18TrulyG281 I sayG3004 to you, they haveG568 their rewardG3408 in fullG568. 17But you, when you fastG3522, 19anointG218 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 20FatherG3962 whoG3588 seesG991 what is done in secretG2931 will rewardG591 you.

19“21Do 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 22treasuresG2344 in heavenG3772, whereG3699 neitherG3777 mothG4597 norG3777 rustG1035 destroysG853, and whereG3699 thievesG2812 do not breakG1358 in orG3761 stealG2813; 21for 23whereG3699 your treasureG2344 is, thereG1563 your heartG2588 will be alsoG2532.

22“24The eyeG3788 is the lampG3088 of the bodyG4983; soG3767 thenG3767 ifG1437 your eyeG3788 is 25clearG573, your wholeG3650 bodyG4983 will be fullG5460 of lightG5460. 23But ifG1437 26your eyeG3788 is 27badG4190, your wholeG3650 bodyG4983 will be fullG4652 of darknessG4652. IfG1487 thenG3767 the lightG5457 that is in you is darknessG4655, howG4214 greatG4214 is the darknessG4655!

24“28NoG3762 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 2930wealthG3126.

25“31For thisG3778 reasonG1223 I sayG3004 to you, 32do not be 33worriedG3309 aboutG3588 your 34lifeG5590, 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? 2635LookG1689 at the birdsG4071 of the 36airG3772, 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 37worriedG3309 canG1410 38addG4369 a single 39hourG4083 to his 40lifeG2244? 28And whyG5101 are you 41worriedG3309 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 42SolomonG4672 in allG3956 his gloryG1391 clothedG4016 himself likeG5613 oneG1520 of theseG3778. 30But ifG1487 GodG2316 soG3779 clothesG294 the 43grassG5528 of the fieldG68, which is alive todayG4594 and tomorrowG839 is thrownG906 into the furnaceG2823, will He not muchG4183 moreG3123 clothe you? 44You of littleG3640 faithG3640! 31Do not 45worryG3309 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 46your heavenlyG3770 FatherG3962 knowsG3609 that you needG5535 allG537 theseG3778 thingsG3778.
