Matthew 6:16-25

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?
