Take heed that ye do not your righteousness before men to be seen of them; otherwise ye have no reward with your Father that is in the heavens.
When therefore thou doest alms, sound not a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be glorified by men: Verily I say to you, They do get their reward.
But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right doeth,
that thine alms may be in secret, and thy Father that seeth in secret will repay to thee.
And when ye pray, ye shall not be as the hypocrites; for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they should appear to men. Verily I say to you, They do get their reward.
But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy chamber, and having shut thy door, pray to thy Father that is in secret, and thy Father that seeth in secret will repay to thee.
But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions as those of the nations; for they think they shall be heard through their much speaking.
Be not ye therefore like them; for your Father knoweth of what things ye have need before ye beg of him.
Thus therefore pray ye : Our Father who art in the heavens, let thy name be sanctified,
let thy kingdom come, let thy will be done as in heaven so upon the earth;
give us today our needed bread,
and forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors,
and lead us not into temptation, but save us from evil.
For if ye forgive men their offenses, your heavenly Father also will forgive you [yours];
but if ye forgive not men their offenses, neither will your Father forgive your offenses.
And when ye fast, be not as the hypocrites, downcast in countenance; for they disfigure their faces that they may appear fasting to men. Verily I say to you, They do get their reward.
But thou, when fasting, anoint thy head and wash thy face,
that thou mayest not appear fasting to men, but to thy Father that is in secret; and thy Father that seeth in secret shall repay thee.
Lay not up for you treasures on the earth where moth and rust consume, and where thieves dig through and steal;
but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven where neither moth nor rust corrupteth, and where thieves dig not through nor steal.
For where thy treasure is, there will be thy heart also.
The lamp of the body is the eye; if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body will be light;
but if thine eye be wicked, thy whole body will be dark. If therefore the light that is in thee is darkness, how great the darkness!
No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and will love the other, or he will hold to the one and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
For this reason I say to you, Be not anxious for your life what ye should eat and what ye should drink, nor yet for your body what ye should put on. Is not the life more than the food, and the body more than the raiment?
Look at the birds of the heavens, that they sow not, nor reap, nor gather into barns, and your heavenly Father nourisheth them. Are ye not more excellent than they?
And which of you by anxiety can add to his stature one cubit?
And why are ye anxious about raiment? Consider the lilies of the field how they grow: they toil not, nor yet spin;
yet I say to you, that not even Solomon in all his glory put on like one of these.
But if God doth so clothe the grass of the field, being today and tomorrow cast into the oven, how much more you, O ye of little faith?
Be not therefore anxious, saying, What shall we eat? or what shall we drink? or what shall we put on?
For all these things the Gentiles seek after; for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
But seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.
Be not careful for the morrow for the morrow will be careful about itself: sufficient for the day is the evil thereof.
