1Take 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.studyinterlinear
2Therefore 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.studyinterlinear
3But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:studyinterlinear
4That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.studyinterlinear
5And 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.studyinterlinear
6But 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.studyinterlinear
7But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.studyinterlinear
8Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.studyinterlinear
9After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.studyinterlinear
10Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.studyinterlinear
11Give us this day our daily bread.studyinterlinear
12And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.studyinterlinear
13And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.studyinterlinear
14For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:studyinterlinear
15But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.studyinterlinear
16Moreover 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.studyinterlinear
17But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face;studyinterlinear
18That 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.studyinterlinear
19Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:studyinterlinear
20But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:studyinterlinear
21For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.studyinterlinear
22The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.studyinterlinear
23But 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!studyinterlinear
24No 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.studyinterlinear
25Therefore 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?studyinterlinear
26Behold 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?studyinterlinear
27Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?studyinterlinear
28And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:studyinterlinear
29And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.studyinterlinear
30Wherefore, 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?studyinterlinear
31Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?studyinterlinear
32(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.studyinterlinear
33But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.studyinterlinear
34Take 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.studyinterlinear
