MATT. VI.

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.

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

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

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

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 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.

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.

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

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

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

11. Give us this day our daily bread.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

22 The light of the body is the eye: if there-
fore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall
be full of light.

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!

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.

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?

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?

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

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

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

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?

31. Therefore take no thought, saying, What
