Matthew 6
Revised Literal Translation
1Take heed thatG4337 ye doG4160 notG3361 yourG4771 almsG3588G1654 beforeG1715 menG3588G444, toG4314 be seenG2300 of themG846: otherwiseG1161 ye haveG2192 noG1490 rewardG3408 ofG3844 yourG4771 FatherG3588G3962 which isG3588 inG1722 heavenG3588G3772. 2ThereforeG3767 whenG3752 thou doestG4160 thine almsG1654, do notG3361 sound a trumpetG4537 beforeG1715 theeG4771, asG5618 the hypocritesG3588G5273 doG4160 inG1722 the synagoguesG3588G4864 andG2532 inG1722 the streetsG3588G4505, thatG3704 they may have gloryG1392 ofG5259 menG3588G444. VerilyG281 I sayG3004 unto youG4771, They haveG568 theirG846 rewardG3588G3408. 3ButG1161 whenG4160 thouG4771 doestG4160 almsG1654, letG1097 notG3361 thyG4771 left handG710 knowG1097 whatG5101 thyG4771 right handG1188 doethG4160: 4ThatG3704 thineG4771 almsG3588G1654 may beG1510 inG1722 secretG3588G2927: andG2532 thyG4771 FatherG3588G3962 which seethG3588G991 inG1722 secretG3588G2927 himselfG846 shall rewardG591 theeG4771 openlyG1722G3588G5318.
5AndG2532 whenG3752 thou prayestG4336, thou shaltG1510 notG3756 beG1510 asG5618 the hypocritesG3588G5273 are: forG3754 they loveG5368 to prayG4336 standingG2476 inG1722 the synagoguesG3588G4864 andG2532 inG1722 the cornersG3588G1137 of the streetsG3588G4113, thatG3704 they may be seenG5316 of menG3588G444. VerilyG281 I sayG3004 unto youG4771, They haveG3754G568 theirG846 rewardG3588G3408. 6ButG1161 thouG4771, whenG3752 thou prayestG4336, enterG1525 intoG1519 thyG4771 closetG3588G5009, andG2532 when thou hast shutG2808 thyG4771 doorG3588G2374, prayG4336 toG3588G3962 thyG4771 FatherG3588G3962 which isG3588 inG1722 secretG3588G2927; andG2532 thyG4771 FatherG3588G3962 which seethG3588G991 inG1722 secretG3588G2927 shall rewardG591 theeG4771 openlyG1722G3588G5318. 7ButG1161 when ye prayG4336, useG945 notG3361 vain repetitionsG945, asG5618 the heathenG1482 do: forG1063 they thinkG1380 thatG3754 they shall be heardG1522 forG1722 theirG846 much speakingG3588G4180. 8BeG3666 notG3361 ye thereforeG3767 likeG3666 unto themG846: forG1063 yourG4771 FatherG3588G3962 knowethG1492 what thingsG3739 ye haveG2192 need ofG5532, beforeG4253 yeG4771 askG154 himG846. 9After this mannerG3779 thereforeG3767 prayG4336 yeG4771: OurG1473 FatherG3962 which artG3588 inG1722 heavenG3588G3772, Hallowed beG37 thyG4771 nameG3588G3686. 10ThyG4771 kingdomG3588G932 comeG2064. ThyG4771 willG3588G2307 be doneG1096 inG1909 earthG3588G1093, asG5613 it is inG1722 heavenG3772. 11GiveG1325 usG1473 this dayG4594 ourG1473 dailyG1967 breadG3588G740. 12AndG2532 forgiveG863 usG1473 ourG1473 debtsG3588G3783, asG5613 weG1473 forgiveG863 ourG1473 debtorsG3588G3781. 13AndG2532 leadG1533 usG1473 notG3361 intoG1519 temptationG3986, butG235 deliverG4506 usG1473 fromG575 evilG4190: ForG3754 thineG4771 isG1510 the kingdomG3588G932, andG2532 the powerG3588G1411, andG2532 the gloryG3588G1391, forG1519 everG3588G165. AmenG281. 14ForG1063 ifG1437 ye forgiveG863 menG3588G444 theirG846 trespassesG3588G3900, yourG4771 heavenlyG3770 FatherG3588G3962 willG863 alsoG2532 forgiveG863 youG4771: 15ButG1161 ifG1437 ye forgiveG863 notG3361 menG3588G444 theirG846 trespassesG3588G3900, neitherG3761 willG863 yourG4771 FatherG3588G3962 forgiveG863 yourG4771 trespassesG3588G3900.
16MoreoverG1161 whenG3752 ye fastG3522, beG1096 notG3361, asG5618 the hypocritesG3588G5273, of a sad countenanceG4659: forG1063 they disfigureG853 theirG846 facesG3588G4383, thatG3704 they may appearG5316 unto menG3588G444 to fastG3522. VerilyG281 I sayG3004 unto youG4771, They haveG568 theirG846 rewardG3588G3408. 17ButG1161 thouG4771, when thou fastestG3522, anointG218 thineG4771 headG3588G2776, andG2532 washG3538 thyG4771 faceG3588G4383; 18ThatG3704 thou appearG5316 notG3361 unto menG3588G444 to fastG3522, butG235 untoG3588G3962 thyG4771 FatherG3588G3962 which isG3588 inG1722 secretG3588G2927: andG2532 thyG4771 FatherG3588G3962, which seethG3588G991 inG1722 secretG3588G2927, shall rewardG591 theeG4771 openlyG1722G3588G5318.
19LayG2343 notG3361 upG2343 for yourselvesG4771 treasuresG2344 uponG1909 earthG3588G1093, whereG3699 mothG4597 andG2532 rustG1035 doth corruptG853, andG2532 whereG3699 thievesG2812 break throughG1358 andG2532 stealG2813: 20ButG1161 lay upG2343 for yourselvesG4771 treasuresG2344 inG1722 heavenG3772, whereG3699 neitherG3777 mothG4597 norG3777 rustG1035 doth corruptG853, andG2532 whereG3699 thievesG2812 doG1358 notG3756 break throughG1358 norG3761 stealG2813: 21ForG1063 whereG3699 yourG4771 treasureG3588G2344 isG1510, thereG1563 willG1510 yourG4771 heartG3588G2588 beG1510 alsoG2532. 22The lightG3588G3088 of the bodyG3588G4983 isG1510 the eyeG3588G3788: ifG1437 thereforeG3767 thineG4771 eyeG3588G3788 beG1510 singleG573, thyG4771 wholeG3650 bodyG3588G4983 shall beG1510 full of lightG5460. 23ButG1161 ifG1437 thineG4771 eyeG3588G3788 beG1510 evilG4190, thyG4771 wholeG3650 bodyG3588G4983 shall beG1510 full of darknessG4652. IfG1487 thereforeG3767 the lightG3588G5457 that isG3588 inG1722 theeG4771 beG1510 darknessG4655, how greatG4214 is that darknessG3588G4655!
24No manG3762 canG1410 serveG1398 twoG1417 mastersG2962: forG1063 eitherG2228 he will hateG3404 the oneG3588G1520, andG2532 loveG25 the otherG3588G2087; or elseG2228 he will hold toG472 the oneG1520, andG2532 despiseG2706 the otherG3588G2087. Ye cannotG3756G1410 serveG1398 GodG2316 andG2532 mammonG3126. 25ThereforeG1223 I sayG3004 unto youG4771, TakeG3309 noG3361 thoughtG3309 forG3588G5590 yourG4771 lifeG3588G5590, whatG5101 ye shall eatG5315, orG2532 whatG5101 ye shall drinkG4095; nor yetG3366 forG3588G4983 yourG4771 bodyG3588G4983, whatG5101 ye shall put onG1746. IsG1510 notG3780 the lifeG3588G5590 moreG4119 than meatG3588G5160, andG2532 the bodyG3588G4983 than raimentG3588G1742? 26BeholdG1689 the fowlsG3588G4071 of the airG3588G3772: forG3754 they sowG4687 notG3756, neitherG3761 do they reapG2325, norG3761 gatherG4863 intoG1519 barnsG596; yetG2532 yourG4771 heavenlyG3770 FatherG3588G3962 feedethG5142 themG846. AreG1308 yeG4771 notG3756 muchG3123 betterG1308 than theyG846? 27WhichG5101 ofG1537 youG4771 by taking thoughtG3309 canG1410 addG4369 oneG1520 cubitG4083 untoG1909 hisG846 statureG3588G2244? 28AndG2532 whyG5101 take ye thoughtG3309 forG4012 raimentG1742? ConsiderG2648 the liliesG3588G2918 of the fieldG3588G68, howG4459 they growG837; they toilG2872 notG3756, neitherG3761 do they spinG3514: 29And yetG1161 I sayG3004 unto youG4771, ThatG3754 evenG3761 SolomonG4672 inG1722 allG3956 hisG846 gloryG3588G1391 wasG4016 notG3761 arrayedG4016 likeG5613 oneG1520 of theseG3778. 30WhereforeG1161, ifG1487 GodG3588G2316 soG3779 clotheG294 the grassG3588G5528 of the fieldG3588G68, whichG1510 to dayG4594 isG1510, andG2532 to morrowG839 is castG906 intoG1519 the ovenG2823, shall he notG3756 muchG4183 moreG3123 clothe youG4771, O ye of little faithG3640? 31ThereforeG3767 takeG3309 noG3361 thoughtG3309, sayingG3004, WhatG5101 shall we eatG5315? orG2228, WhatG5101 shall we drinkG4095? orG2228, WherewithalG5101 shall we be clothedG4016? 32(ForG1063 after allG3956 these thingsG3778 doG1934 the GentilesG3588G1484 seekG1934:) forG1063 yourG4771 heavenlyG3770 FatherG3588G3962 knowethG1492 thatG3754 ye have needG5535 ofG3778 allG537 these thingsG3778. 33ButG1161 seek yeG2212 firstG4412 the kingdomG3588G932 of GodG3588G2316, andG2532 hisG846 righteousnessG3588G1343; andG2532 allG3956 these thingsG3778 shall be addedG4369 unto youG4771. 34TakeG3309 thereforeG3767 noG3361 thoughtG3309 forG1519 the morrowG839: forG1063 the morrowG839 shall take thoughtG3309 for the thingsG3588 of itselfG1438. SufficientG713 unto the dayG3588G2250 is the evilG3588G2549 thereofG846.
