Matthew 6:16-25

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?
