Therefore{G3767} when{G3752} thou doest{G4160}{(G5725)} thine alms{G1654}, do{G4537} not{G3361} sound a trumpet{G4537}{(G5661)} before{G1715} thee{G4675}, as{G5618} the hypocrites{G5273} do{G4160}{(G5719)} in{G1722} the synagogues{G4864} and{G2532} in{G1722} the streets{G4505}, that{G3704} they may have glory{G1392}{(G5686)} of{G5259} men{G444}. Verily{G281} I say{G3004}{(G5719)} unto you{G5213}, They have{G568}{(G5719)} their{G846} reward{G3408}.

But{G1161} when thou{G4675} doest{G4160}{(G5723)} alms{G1654}, let{G1097} not{G3361} thy{G4675} left hand{G710} know{G1097}{(G5628)} what{G5101} thy{G4675} right hand{G1188} doeth{G4160}{(G5719)}:

That{G3704} thine{G4675} alms{G1654} may be{G5600}{(G5753)} in{G1722} secret{G2927}: and{G2532} thy{G4675} Father{G3962} which{G3588} seeth{G991}{(G5723)} in{G1722} secret{G2927} himself{G846} shall reward{G591}{(G5692)} thee{G4671} openly{G1722}{G5318}.

Verse 5

And{G2532} when{G3752} thou prayest{G4336}{(G5741)}, thou shalt{G2071} not{G3756} be{G2071}{(G5704)} as{G5618} the hypocrites{G5273} are: for{G3754} they love{G5368}{(G5719)} to pray{G4336}{(G5738)} standing{G2476}{(G5761)} in{G1722} the synagogues{G4864} and{G2532} in{G1722} the corners{G1137} of the streets{G4113}, that{G3704} they may{G302} be seen{G5316}{(G5652)} of men{G444}. Verily{G281} I say{G3004}{(G5719)} unto you{G5213},{G3754} They have{G568}{(G5719)} their{G846} reward{G3408}.

Verse 7

But{G1161} when ye pray{G4336}{(G5740)}, use{G945} not{G3361} vain repetitions{G945}{(G5661)}, as{G5618} the heathen{G1482} do: for{G1063} they think{G1380}{(G5719)} that{G3754} they shall be heard{G1522}{(G5701)} for{G1722} their{G846} much speaking{G4180}.

Verse 8

Be{G3666} not{G3361} ye{G3666} therefore{G3767} like{G3666}{(G5686)} unto them{G846}: for{G1063} your{G5216} Father{G3962} knoweth{G1492}{(G5758)} what things{G3739} ye have{G2192}{(G5719)} need of{G5532}, before{G4253} ye{G5209} ask{G154}{(G5658)} him{G846}.

Verse 10

Thy{G4675} kingdom{G932} come{G2064}{(G5628)}. Thy{G4675} will{G2307} be done{G1096}{(G5676)} in{G1909} earth{G1093}, as{G2532}{G5613} it is in{G1722} heaven{G3772}.

Verse 13

And{G2532} lead{G1533}{(G5661)} us{G2248} not{G3361} into{G1519} temptation{G3986}, but{G235} deliver{G4506}{(G5663)} us{G2248} from{G575} evil{G4190}: For{G3754} thine{G4675} is{G2076}{(G5748)} the kingdom{G932}, and{G2532} the power{G1411}, and{G2532} the glory{G1391}, for{G1519} ever{G165}. Amen{G281}.

Verse 14

For{G1063} if{G1437} ye forgive{G863}{(G5632)} men{G444} their{G846} trespasses{G3900}, your{G5216} heavenly{G3770} Father{G3962} will also{G2532} forgive{G863}{(G5692)} you{G5213}:

Verse 15

But{G1161} if{G3362} ye forgive{G863}{(G5632)} not{G3362} men{G444} their{G846} trespasses{G3900}, neither{G3761} will your{G5216} Father{G3962} forgive{G863}{(G5692)} your{G5216} trespasses{G3900}.

Moreover{G1161} when{G3752} ye fast{G3522}{(G5725)}, be{G1096}{(G5737)} not{G3361}, as{G5618} the hypocrites{G5273}, of a sad countenance{G4659}: for{G1063} they disfigure{G853}{(G5719)} their{G846} faces{G4383}, that{G3704} they may appear{G5316}{(G5652)} unto men{G444} to fast{G3522}{(G5723)}. Verily{G281} I say{G3004}{(G5719)} unto you{G5213},{G3754} They have{G568}{(G5719)} their{G846} reward{G3408}.

Verse 17

But{G1161} thou{G4771}, when thou fastest{G3522}{(G5723)}, anoint{G218}{(G5669)} thine{G4675} head{G2776}, and{G2532} wash{G3538}{(G5669)} thy{G4675} face{G4383};

That{G3704} thou appear{G5316}{(G5652)} not{G3361} unto men{G444} to fast{G3522}{(G5723)}, but{G235} unto thy{G4675} Father{G3962} which{G3588} is in{G1722} secret{G2927}: and{G2532} thy{G4675} Father{G3962}, which{G3588} seeth{G991}{(G5723)} in{G1722} secret{G2927}, shall reward{G591}{(G5692)} thee{G4671} openly{G1722}{G5318}.

Lay{G2343} not{G3361} up{G2343}{(G5720)} for yourselves{G5213} treasures{G2344} upon{G1909} earth{G1093}, where{G3699} moth{G4597} and{G2532} rust{G1035} doth corrupt{G853}{(G5719)}, and{G2532} where{G3699} thieves{G2812} break through{G1358}{(G5719)} and{G2532} steal{G2813}{(G5719)}:

Verse 20

But{G1161} lay up{G2343}{(G5720)} for yourselves{G5213} treasures{G2344} in{G1722} heaven{G3772}, where{G3699} neither{G3777} moth{G4597} nor{G3777} rust{G1035} doth corrupt{G853}{(G5719)}, and{G2532} where{G3699} thieves{G2812} do{G1358} not{G3756} break through{G1358}{(G5719)} nor{G3761} steal{G2813}{(G5719)}:

Verse 21

For{G1063} where{G3699} your{G5216} treasure{G2344} is{G2076}{(G5748)}, there{G1563} will{G2071} your{G5216} heart{G2588} be{G2071}{(G5704)} also{G2532}.

Verse 22

The light{G3088} of the body{G4983} is{G2076}{(G5748)} the eye{G3788}: if{G1437} therefore{G3767} thine{G4675} eye{G3788} be{G5600}{(G5753)} single{G573}, thy{G4675} whole{G3650} body{G4983} shall be{G2071}{(G5704)} full of light{G5460}.

Verse 23

But{G1161} if{G1437} thine{G4675} eye{G3788} be{G5600}{(G5753)} evil{G4190}, thy{G4675} whole{G3650} body{G4983} shall be{G2071}{(G5704)} full of darkness{G4652}. If{G1487} therefore{G3767} the light{G5457} that is{G2076}{(G5748)} in{G1722} thee{G4671} be darkness{G4655}, how great{G4214} is that darkness{G4655}!

Verse 24

No man{G3762} can{G1410}{(G5736)} serve{G1398}{(G5721)} two{G1417} masters{G2962}: for{G1063} either{G2228} he will hate{G3404}{(G5692)} the one{G1520}, and{G2532} love{G25}{(G5692)} the other{G2087}; or else{G2228} he will hold{G472}{(G5695)} to the one{G1520}, and{G2532} despise{G2706}{(G5692)} the other{G2087}. Ye cannot{G3756}{G1410}{(G5736)} serve{G1398}{(G5721)} God{G2316} and{G2532} mammon{G3126}.

Verse 25

Therefore{G1223}{G5124} I say{G3004}{(G5719)} unto you{G5213}, Take no{G3361} thought{G3309}{(G5720)} for your{G5216} life{G5590}, what{G5101} ye shall eat{G5315}{(G5632)}, or{G2532} what{G5101} ye shall drink{G4095}{(G5632)}; nor yet for{G3366} your{G5216} body{G4983}, what{G5101} ye shall put on{G1746}{(G5672)}. Is{G2076}{(G5748)} not{G3780} the life{G5590} more than{G4119} meat{G5160}, and{G2532} the body{G4983} than raiment{G1742}?

Verse 26

Behold{G1689}{(G5657)}{G1519} the fowls{G4071} of the air{G3772}: for{G3754} they sow{G4687}{(G5719)} not{G3756}, neither{G3761} do they reap{G2325}{(G5719)}, nor{G3761} gather{G4863}{(G5719)} into{G1519} barns{G596}; yet{G2532} your{G5216} heavenly{G3770} Father{G3962} feedeth{G5142}{(G5719)} them{G846}. Are{G1308} ye{G5210} not{G3756} much{G3123} better than{G1308}{(G5719)} they{G846}?

Verse 27

{G1161} Which{G1537}{G5101} of you{G5216} by taking thought{G3309}{(G5723)} can{G1410}{(G5736)} add{G4369}{(G5629)} one{G1520} cubit{G4083} unto{G1909} his{G846} stature{G2244}?

Verse 28

And{G2532} why{G5101} take ye thought{G3309}{(G5720)} for{G4012} raiment{G1742}? Consider{G2648}{(G5628)} the lilies{G2918} of the field{G68}, how{G4459} they grow{G837}{(G5719)}; they toil{G2872}{(G5719)} not{G3756}, neither{G3761} do they spin{G3514}{(G5719)}:

Verse 29

And yet{G1161} I say{G3004}{(G5719)} unto you{G5213}, That{G3754} even{G3761} Solomon{G4672} in{G1722} all{G3956} his{G846} glory{G1391} was{G4016} not{G3761} arrayed{G4016}{(G5639)} like{G5613} one{G1520} of these{G5130}.

Verse 30

Wherefore{G1161}, if{G1487} God{G2316} so{G3779} clothe{G294}{(G5719)} the grass{G5528} of the field{G68}, which to day{G4594} is{G5607}{(G5752)}, and{G2532} to morrow{G839} is cast{G906}{(G5746)} into{G1519} the oven{G2823}, shall he not{G3756} much{G4183} more{G3123} clothe you{G5209}, O ye of little faith{G3640}?

Verse 31

Therefore{G3767} take no{G3361} thought{G3309}{(G5661)}, saying{G3004}{(G5723)}, What{G5101} shall we eat{G5315}{(G5632)}? or{G2228}, What{G5101} shall we drink{G4095}{(G5632)}? or{G2228}, Wherewithal{G5101} shall we be clothed{G4016}{(G5643)}?

Verse 32

(For{G1063} after{G1934} all{G3956} these things{G5023} do the Gentiles{G1484} seek{G1934}{(G5719)}:) for{G1063} your{G5216} heavenly{G3770} Father{G3962} knoweth{G1492}{(G5758)} that{G3754} ye have need{G5535}{(G5719)} of all{G537} these things{G5130}.

Verse 33

But{G1161} seek ye{G2212}{(G5720)} first{G4412} the kingdom{G932} of God{G2316}, and{G2532} his{G846} righteousness{G1343}; and{G2532} all{G3956} these things{G5023} shall be added{G4369}{(G5701)} unto you{G5213}.

Verse 34

Take{G3309} therefore{G3767} no{G3361} thought{G3309}{(G5661)} for{G1519} the morrow{G839}: for{G1063} the morrow{G839} shall take thought{G3309}{(G5692)} for the things{G3588} of itself{G1438}. Sufficient{G713} unto the day{G2250} is the evil{G2549} thereof{G846}.
