Matthew 6

Charitable Giving to the Poor and Prayer

1“TakeG4337 careG4337 not to practiceG4160 your righteousnessG1343 inG1715 theG1715 sightG1715 ofG1715 peopleG444, 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 aG4537 trumpetG4537 beforeG1715 you, as the hypocritesG5273 doG4160 in the synagoguesG4864 and on the streetsG4505, soG3704 thatG3704 they 3will be praisedG1392 by peopleG444. 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 thatG3704 your charitableG1654 givingG1654 will be in secretG2927; and 6your FatherG3962 who seesG991 what is done in secretG2927 will rewardG591 you.

5“And whenG3752 you prayG4336, you are not to be likeG5613 the hypocritesG5273; for they loveG5368 to 7standG2476 and prayG4336 in the synagoguesG4864 and on the streetG4116 cornersG1137 8soG3704 thatG3704 they 9will be seenG5316 by peopleG444. 10TrulyG281 I sayG3004 to you, they haveG568 their rewardG3408 in fullG568. 6But as for you, whenG3752 you prayG4336, 11goG1525 into your innerG5009 roomG5009, closeG2808 your doorG2374, and prayG4336 to your FatherG3962 whoG3588 is in secretG2927; and 12your FatherG3962 whoG3588 seesG991 what is done in secretG2927 will rewardG591 you.

7“And when you are prayingG4336, do not useG945 thoughtlessG945 repetitionG945 as the GentilesG1482 do, for they thinkG1380 that they will be heardG1522 becauseG1722 of their 13manyG4180 wordsG4180. 8SoG3767 do not be likeG3666 them; for 14your FatherG3962 knowsG3609 whatG3739 you needG5532 beforeG4253 you askG154 Him.

The Lord’s Prayer

9“15PrayG4336, thenG3767, inG3779 thisG3779 wayG3779: ‘Our FatherG3962, whoG3588 is in heavenG3772, 16HallowedG37 be Your nameG3686.101718Your kingdomG932 comeG2064. 19Your willG2307 be doneG1096, 20On earthG1093 as it is in heavenG3772.1121GiveG1325 us thisG4594 dayG4594 22our dailyG1967 breadG740.12And 23forgiveG863 us our debtsG3783, as we alsoG2532 have forgivenG863 our debtorsG3781.13And do not leadG1533 us into temptationG3986, but 24deliverG4506 us from 2526evilG4190.27’ 1428For ifG1437 you forgiveG863 other peopleG444 for their 29offensesG3900, your heavenlyG3770 FatherG3962 will alsoG2532 forgiveG863 you. 15But 30ifG1437 you do not forgiveG863 other peopleG444, thenG3761 your FatherG3962 will not forgiveG863 your 31offensesG3900.

Fasting; The True Treasure; Wealth

16“NowG1161 32wheneverG3752 you fastG3522, do not makeG1096 a gloomyG4659 faceG4659 as the hypocritesG5273 do, for they 33distortG853 their facesG4383 soG3704 thatG3704 they will be noticedG5316 by peopleG444 when they are fastingG3522. 34TrulyG281 I sayG3004 to you, they haveG568 their rewardG3408 in fullG568. 17But as for you, when you fastG3522, 3536anointG218 your headG2776 and washG3538 your faceG4383, 18soG3704 thatG3704 your fastingG3522 will not be noticedG5316 by peopleG444 but by your FatherG3962 whoG3588 is in secretG2931; and your 37FatherG3962 whoG3588 seesG991 what is done in secretG2931 will rewardG591 you.

19“38Do not storeG2343 upG2343 for yourselvesG4771 treasuresG2344 on earthG1093, whereG3699 mothG4597 and rustG1035 destroyG853, and whereG3699 thievesG2812 breakG1358 inG1358 and stealG2813. 20But storeG2343 upG2343 for yourselvesG4771 39treasuresG2344 in heavenG3772, whereG3699 neitherG3777 mothG4597 norG3777 rustG1035 destroysG853, and whereG3699 thievesG2812 do not breakG1358 inG1358 orG3761 stealG2813; 21for 40whereG3699 your treasureG2344 is, thereG1563 your heartG2588 will be alsoG2532.

22“41The eyeG3788 is the lampG3088 of the bodyG4983; soG3767 thenG3767, ifG1437 your eyeG3788 is 42clearG573, your wholeG3650 bodyG4983 will be fullG5460 ofG5460 lightG5460. 23But ifG1437 43your eyeG3788 is 44badG4190, your wholeG3650 bodyG4983 will be fullG4652 of darknessG4652. SoG3767 ifG1487 the lightG5457 that is in you is darknessG4655, howG4214 greatG4214 is the darknessG4655!

24“45NoG3762 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 4647wealthG3126.

The Cure for Anxiety

25“48For thisG3778 reasonG1223 I sayG3004 to you, 49do not be 50worriedG3309 aboutG3588 your 51lifeG5590, as to whatG5101 you will eatG2068 orG2228 whatG5101 you will drinkG4095; norG3366 for your bodyG4983, as to whatG5101 you will putG1746 on. Is lifeG5590 not moreG4183 than foodG5160, and the bodyG4983 moreG4183 than clothingG1742? 2652LookG1689 at the birdsG4071 of the skyG3772, that they do not sowG4687, norG3761 reapG2325, norG3761 gatherG4863 crops into barnsG596, and yet your heavenlyG3770 FatherG3962 feedsG5142 them. Are you not muchG3123 moreG1308 importantG1308 than they? 27And whichG5101 of you by 53worryingG3309 canG1410 54addG4369 a singleG1520 55dayG4083 to his 56life’sG2244 spanG2244? 28And whyG5101 are you 57worriedG3309 aboutG4012 clothingG1742? NoticeG2648 howG4459 the liliesG2918 of the fieldG68 growG837; they do not laborG2872 norG3761 do they spinG3514 thread for cloth, 29yetG1161 I sayG3004 to you that not evenG3761 58SolomonG4672 in allG3956 his gloryG1391 clothedG4016 himself likeG5613 oneG1520 of theseG3778. 30But ifG1487 GodG2316 soG3779 clothesG294 the 59grassG5528 of the fieldG68, which is alive todayG4594 and tomorrowG839 is thrownG906 into the furnaceG2823, will He not muchG4183 moreG3123 clothe you? 60You ofG3640 littleG3640 faithG3640! 31Do not 61worryG3309 thenG3767, sayingG3004, ‘WhatG5101 are we to eatG2068?’ orG2228 ‘WhatG5101 are we to drinkG4095?’ orG2228 ‘WhatG5101 are we to wearG4016 forG4016 clothingG4016?’ 32For the GentilesG1484 eagerlyG1934 seekG1934 allG3956 theseG3778 thingsG3778; for 62your heavenlyG3770 FatherG3962 knowsG3609 that you needG5535 allG537 theseG3778 thingsG3778. 33But 63seekG2212 firstG4413 64His kingdomG932 and His righteousnessG1343, and 65allG3956 theseG3778 thingsG3778 will be 66providedG4369 to you.

34“SoG3767 do not 67worryG3309 aboutG1519 tomorrowG839; for tomorrowG839 will 68worryG3309 aboutG3309 itselfG1438. 69Each dayG2250 has enoughG713 troubleG2549 of its own.
