Book 40 : MATTHEW - Chapter 006
006:001
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
006:002
But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy
right hand doeth
006:003
That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth
in secret himself shall reward thee openly
006:004
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
006:005
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
006:006
But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do:
for they think that they shall be heard for their much
speaking
006:007
Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth
what things ye have need of, before ye ask him
006:008
After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in
heaven, Hallowed be thy name
006:009
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in
heaven
006:010
Give us this day our daily bread
006:011
And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors
006:012
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
006:013
For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father
will also forgive you
006:014
But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your
Father forgive your trespasses
006:015
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
006:016
But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy
face
006:017
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
006:018
Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and
rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal
006:019
But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither
moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break
through nor steal
006:020
For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also
006:021
The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be
single, thy whole body shall be full of light
006:022
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
006:023
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
006:024
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
006:025
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
006:026
Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his
stature
006:027
And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of
the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin
006:028
And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was
not arrayed like one of these
006:029
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
006:030
Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What
shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed
006:031
(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your
heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things
006:032
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness;
and all these things shall be added unto you
006:033
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
