Revised Version 1895

1TakeG4337 heed thatG846 ye doG4160 notG3756 yourG2192 righteousnessG1343 beforeG1715 menG444, toG4314 beG444 seenG2300 ofG3962 themG846: else ye have noG3756 rewardG3408 withG1722 yourG2192 FatherG3962 whichG3588 is inG1722 heavenG3772. 2WhenG3752 thereforeG3767 thou doest almsG1654, soundG4537 notG3361 a trumpetG4537 beforeG1715 thee, asG1722 theG3588 hypocritesG5273 doG4160 inG1722 theG3588 synagoguesG4864 andG2532 inG1722 theG3588 streetsG4505, thatG3004 theyG846 mayG2532 have gloryG1392 ofG1722 menG444. Verily IG281 sayG3004 unto youG5210, TheyG846 have receivedG568 theirG846 rewardG3408. 3ButG1161 whenG1161 thou doest almsG1654, letG1097 notG3361 thy leftG710 handG1188 knowG1097 whatG5101 thy rightG1188 handG1188 doeth: 4thatG3704 thine almsG1654 mayG2532 beG1510 inG1722 secretG2927: andG2532 thy FatherG3962 whichG3588 seeth inG1722 secretG2927 shallG2532 recompense thee. 5AndG2532 whenG3752 ye prayG4336, ye shallG444 notG3756 beG1510 asG5613 theG3588 hypocritesG5273: forG3754 theyG846 loveG5368 toG3004 standG2476 andG2532 prayG4336 inG1722 theG3588 synagoguesG4864 andG2532 inG1722 theG3588 cornersG1137 ofG1722 theG3588 streetsG4116, thatG3754 theyG846 mayG2532 beG1510 seenG5316 ofG1722 menG444. Verily IG281 sayG3004 unto youG5210, TheyG846 haveG1510 receivedG568 theirG846 rewardG3408. 6ButG1161 thou, whenG3752 thou prayest, enterG1525 intoG1519 thine innerG5009 chamber, andG2532 having shutG2808 thy doorG2374, prayG4336 toG1519 thy FatherG3962 whichG3588 is inG1722 secretG2927, andG2532 thy FatherG3962 whichG3588 seeth inG1722 secretG2927 shallG2532 recompense thee. 7AndG1161 inG1722 prayingG4336 useG945 notG3361 vain repetitions, asG1722 theG3588 GentilesG1482 doG1380: forG1063 theyG846 thinkG1380 thatG3754 theyG846 shall beG3361 heardG1522 forG1063 theirG846 much speaking. 8BeG3767 notG3361 thereforeG3767 likeG3666 unto themG846: forG1063 yourG2192 FatherG3962 knoweth whatG3739 thingsG3739 ye have needG5532 ofG3962, beforeG4253 ye askG154 himG846. 9AfterG3767 thisG3779 mannerG3779 thereforeG3767 prayG4336 ye: OurG1722 FatherG3962 whichG3588 art inG1722 heavenG3772, HallowedG37 beG3767 thy nameG3686. 10Thy kingdomG932 comeG2064. Thy willG2307 beG1096 doneG1096, asG5613 inG1722 heavenG3772, soG2532 onG1909 earthG1093. 11GiveG1325 usG1325 thisG3588 dayG4594 our dailyG1967 breadG740. 12AndG2532 forgiveG863 usG863 ourG2532 debtsG3783, asG5613 weG2249 alsoG2532 have forgivenG863 ourG2532 debtorsG3781. 13AndG2532 bringG1533 usG1519 notG3361 intoG1519 temptationG3986, butG235 deliverG4506 usG1519 fromG575 theG3588 evilG4190 oneG3588. 14ForG1063 ifG1437 ye forgiveG863 menG444 theirG846 trespassesG3900, yourG1437 heavenlyG3770 FatherG3962 willG444 alsoG2532 forgiveG863 youG5210. 15ButG1161 ifG1437 ye forgiveG863 notG3361 menG444 theirG863 trespassesG3900, neitherG3761 willG444 yourG1437 FatherG3962 forgiveG863 yourG1437 trespassesG3900. 16MoreoverG1161 whenG3752 ye fastG3522, beG1096 notG3361, asG5613 theG3588 hypocritesG5273, ofG444 a sadG4659 countenance: forG1063 theyG846 disfigure theirG846 facesG4383, thatG3004 theyG846 mayG3004 beG1096 seenG5316 ofG444 menG444 toG3004 fastG3522. Verily IG281 sayG3004 unto youG5210, TheyG846 have receivedG568 theirG846 rewardG3408. 17ButG1161 thou, whenG2532 thou fastest, anointG218 thy headG2776, andG2532 washG3538 thy faceG4383; 18thatG3704 thou beG2532 notG3361 seenG991 ofG3962 menG444 toG2532 fastG3522, butG235 ofG3962 thy FatherG3962 whichG3588 is inG1722 secretG2927: andG2532 thy FatherG3962, whichG3588 seeth inG1722 secretG2927, shallG444 recompense thee. 19Lay notG3361 upG2343 forG1909 yourselvesG4771 treasuresG2344 uponG1909 theG3588 earthG1093, whereG3699 mothG4597 andG2532 rustG1035 doth consume, andG2532 whereG3699 thievesG2812 breakG1358 through andG2532 stealG2813: 20butG1161 lay upG2343 forG1722 yourselvesG4771 treasuresG2344 inG1722 heavenG3772, whereG3699 neitherG3777 mothG4597 norG3761 rustG1035 doth consume, andG2532 whereG3699 thievesG2812 doG2813 notG3756 breakG1358 throughG1722 norG3761 stealG2813: 21forG1063 whereG3699 thy treasureG2344 isG1510, thereG1563 willG1510 thy heartG2588 beG1510 alsoG2532. 22TheG3588 lampG3088 ofG4983 theG3588 bodyG4983 isG1510 theG3588 eyeG3788: ifG1437 thereforeG3767 thine eyeG3788 beG1510 single, thy wholeG3650 bodyG4983 shall beG1510 fullG5460 ofG4983 lightG5460. 23ButG1161 ifG1487 thine eyeG3788 beG1510 evilG4190, thy wholeG3650 bodyG4983 shallG5457 beG1510 fullG4652 ofG4983 darknessG4655. IfG1487 thereforeG3767 theG3588 lightG5457 thatG3650 isG1510 inG1722 thee beG1510 darknessG4655, howG4214 greatG4214 isG1510 theG3588 darknessG4655! 24NoG3756 manG1520 canG1410 serveG1398 twoG1417 mastersG2962: forG1063 eitherG2228 heG2532 willG2316 hateG3404 theG3588 oneG1520, andG2532 loveG25 theG3588 otherG2087; orG2228 elseG2087 heG2532 willG2316 hold toG1410 oneG1520, andG2532 despiseG2706 theG3588 otherG2087. Ye cannotG3756 serveG1398 GodG2316 andG2532 mammon. 25ThereforeG1223 IG2532 sayG3004 unto youG5210, BeG1510 notG3361 anxiousG3309 forG1223 yourG2532 lifeG5590, whatG5101 ye shallG3778 eatG2068, orG3366 whatG5101 ye shallG3778 drink; norG3366 yetG2532 forG1223 yourG2532 bodyG4983, whatG5101 ye shallG3778 putG1746 onG1510. IsG1510 notG3361 theG3588 lifeG5590 moreG4183 thanG4183 theG3588 foodG5160, andG2532 theG3588 bodyG4983 thanG4183 theG3588 raiment? 26Behold theG3588 birdsG4071 ofG3962 theG3588 heavenG3772, thatG3754 theyG846 sowG4687 notG3756, neitherG3756 doG2532 theyG846 reapG2325, norG3761 gatherG4863 intoG1519 barnsG596; andG2532 yourG2532 heavenlyG3770 FatherG3962 feedeth themG846. Are notG3756 ye ofG3962 muchG3123 moreG3123 value thanG2532 theyG846? 27AndG1161 whichG5101 ofG1537 youG5210 byG1537 beingG4771 anxiousG3309 canG1410 addG4369 oneG1520 cubit unto hisG846 statureG2244? 28AndG2532 whyG5101 are ye anxiousG3309 concerningG4012 raiment? Consider theG3588 liliesG2918 ofG4012 theG3588 fieldG68, howG4459 theyG2532 growG837; theyG2532 toilG2872 notG3756, neitherG3756 doG3309 theyG2532 spinG3514: 29yetG1161 IG3778 sayG3004 unto youG5210, thatG3754 evenG3761 SolomonG4672 inG1722 allG3956 hisG846 gloryG1391 was notG3761 arrayed likeG5613 oneG1520 ofG1391 theseG3778. 30ButG1161 ifG1487 GodG2316 doth soG2532 clothe theG3588 grassG5528 ofG2316 theG3588 fieldG68, whichG3588 todayG4594 isG1510, andG2532 tomorrowG839 isG1510 castG906 intoG1519 theG3588 oven, shallG2532 heG2532 notG3756 muchG4183 moreG3123 clothe youG5210, O ye ofG2316 little faith? 31BeG3767 notG3361 thereforeG3767 anxiousG3309, sayingG3004, WhatG5101 shall weG3767 eatG2068? orG2228, WhatG5101 shall drinkG4095? orG2228, Wherewithal shall weG3767 beG3767 clothedG4016? 32ForG1063 afterG1063 allG3956 theseG3778 thingsG3778 doG1492 theG3956 GentilesG1484 seekG1934; forG1063 yourG3956 heavenlyG3770 FatherG3962 knoweth thatG3754 ye have needG5535 ofG3962 allG3956 theseG3778 thingsG3778. 33ButG1161 seekG2212 ye firstG4413 hisG846 kingdomG932, andG2532 hisG846 righteousnessG1343; andG2532 allG3956 theseG3778 thingsG3778 shallG3778 beG2532 addedG4369 unto youG5210. 34BeG3767 notG3361 thereforeG3767 anxiousG3309 forG1063 theG3588 morrow: forG1063 theG3588 morrow willG2250 beG3767 anxiousG3309 forG1063 itselfG1438. SufficientG713 unto theG3588 dayG2250 is theG3588 evilG2549 thereof.
