Matthew 6:16-25

16“NowG1161 1wheneverG3752 you fastG3522, do not makeG1096 a gloomyG4659 faceG4659 as the hypocritesG5273 do, for they 2distortG853 their facesG4383 soG3704 thatG3704 they will be noticedG5316 by peopleG444 when they are fastingG3522. 3TrulyG281 I sayG3004 to you, they haveG568 their rewardG3408 in fullG568. 17But as for you, when you fastG3522, 4 5anointG218 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 6FatherG3962 whoG3588 seesG991 what is done in secretG2931 will rewardG591 you.

19“7Do 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 8treasuresG2344 in heavenG3772, whereG3699 neitherG3777 mothG4597 norG3777 rustG1035 destroysG853, and whereG3699 thievesG2812 do not breakG1358 inG1358 orG3761 stealG2813; 21for 9whereG3699 your treasureG2344 is, thereG1563 your heartG2588 will be alsoG2532.

22“10The eyeG3788 is the lampG3088 of the bodyG4983; soG3767 thenG3767, ifG1437 your eyeG3788 is 11clearG573, your wholeG3650 bodyG4983 will be fullG5460 ofG5460 lightG5460. 23But ifG1437 12your eyeG3788 is 13badG4190, your wholeG3650 bodyG4983 will be fullG4652 of darknessG4652. SoG3767 ifG1487 the lightG5457 that is in you is darknessG4655, howG4214 greatG4214 is the darknessG4655!

24“14NoG3762 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 15 16wealthG3126.

25“17For thisG3778 reasonG1223 I sayG3004 to you, 18do not be 19worriedG3309 aboutG3588 your 20lifeG5590, 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?
