Matthew 6:16-25

16MoreoverG1161 whenG3752 ye fastG3522, beG1096 notG3361, asG5618 the hypocritesG5273, of a sad countenanceG4659: forG1063 they disfigureG853 theirG846 facesG4383, thatG3704 they may appearG5316 to menG444 to fastG3522. VerilyG281 I sayG3004 to youG5213, They haveG568 theirG846 rewardG3408. 17ButG1161 thouG4771, when thou fastestG3522, anointG218 thyG4675 headG2776, andG2532 washG3538 thyG4675 faceG4383; 18ThatG3704 thou mayest notG3361 appearG5316 to menG444 to fastG3522, butG235 to thyG4675 FatherG3962 whoG3588 is inG1722 secretG2927: andG2532 thyG4675 FatherG3962, whoG3588 seethG991 inG1722 secretG2927, shall rewardG591 theeG4671 openlyG1722G5318.

19LayG2343 notG3361 upG2343 for yourselvesG5213 treasuresG2344 uponG1909 earthG1093, whereG3699 mothG4597 andG2532 rustG1035 doth corruptG853, andG2532 whereG3699 thievesG2812 break throughG1358 andG2532 stealG2813: 20ButG1161 lay upG2343 for yourselvesG5213 treasuresG2344 inG1722 heavenG3772, whereG3699 neitherG3777 mothG4597 norG3777 rustG1035 doth corruptG853, andG2532 whereG3699 thievesG2812 doG1358 notG3756 break throughG1358 norG3761 stealG2813: 21ForG1063 whereG3699 yourG5216 treasureG2344 isG2076, thereG1563 willG2071 yourG5216 heartG2588 beG2071 alsoG2532. 22The lightG3088 of the bodyG4983 isG2076 the eyeG3788: ifG1437 thereforeG3767 thyG4675 eyeG3788 isG5600 clearG573, thyG4675 wholeG3650 bodyG4983 shall beG2071 full of lightG5460. 23ButG1161 ifG1437 thyG4675 eyeG3788 isG5600 badG4190, thyG4675 wholeG3650 bodyG4983 shall beG2071 full of darknessG4652. IfG1487 thereforeG3767 the lightG5457 that isG2076 inG1722 theeG4671 is darknessG4655, how greatG4214 is that darknessG4655! 24No manG3762 canG1410 serveG1398 twoG1417 mastersG2962: forG1063 eitherG2228 he will hateG3404 the oneG1520, andG2532 loveG25 the otherG2087; or elseG2228 he will holdG472 to the oneG1520, andG2532 despiseG2706 the otherG2087. Ye cannotG3756G1410 serveG1398 GodG2316 andG2532 richesG3126.

25ThereforeG1223G5124 I sayG3004 to youG5213, Be notG3361 anxiousG3309 for yourG5216 lifeG5590, whatG5101 ye shall eatG5315, orG2532 whatG5101 ye shall drinkG4095; nor yet forG3366 yourG5216 bodyG4983, whatG5101 ye shall put onG1746. IsG2076 notG3780 the lifeG5590 more thanG4119 foodG5160, andG2532 the bodyG4983 than raimentG1742?
