Matthew 6

6:1 Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: 
otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.

6:2 Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, 
as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. 
Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

6:3 But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth: 

6:4 That thine alms may be in secret: 
and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.

6:5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are:
for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, 
that they may be seen of men. 
Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

6:6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, 
and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; 
and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.

6:7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: 
for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.

6:8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: 
for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.

6:9 After this manner therefore pray ye: 
Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

6:10 Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

6:11 Give us this day our daily bread.

6:12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

6:13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: 
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

6:14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: 

6:15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

6:16 Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: 
for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. 
Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

6:17 But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face; 

6:18 That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: 
and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly.

6:19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, 
and where thieves break through and steal: 

6:20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, 
and where thieves do not break through nor steal: 

6:21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

6:22 The light of the body is the eye: 
if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.

6:23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness.
If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness! 

6:24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; 
or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

6:25 Therefore I say unto you, 
Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; 
nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. 
Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? 

6:26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; 
yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? 

6:27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? 

6:28 And why take ye thought for raiment? 
Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: 

6:29 And yet I say unto you, 
That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

6:30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, 
which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, 
shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? 

6:31 Therefore take no thought, saying, 
What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? 
or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? 

6:32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) 
for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.

6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; 
and all these things shall be added unto you.

6:34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: 
for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. 
Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
