1 Now offer your righteousness not to do before men, for them to behold, yet otherwise, you have no reward from your Father who is in the heavens.2 Therefore when you should do an act of charity, you should not trumpet it before you, even as the hypocrites do in the assembly halls and in the streets, that they may be honored by men. Truly I say to you, they receive their reward!3 But upon your doing an act of charity, your left hand must not know what your right hand does,4 that your act of charity would be in secret, and your Father who sees would repay you in secret. "5 And when you pray, do not be as the hypocrites, because they love to pray in the assembly halls and standing at the corners of the streets, that they should be seen by men. Truly I say to you, they have their reward!6 But when you would pray, go into your closet and closing your door you shall pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father who sees shall yield to you in secret. "7 And those praying should not babble on repeatedly just as the heathens, for they suppose that by their many words they shall be heard.8 Therefore do not become like them, for your Father knows that which you have need of before you ask Him!9 Therefore thusly are you to pray: 'Our Father who is in the heavens: Your name must be sanctified;10 Your kingdom must come; Your will must be done, as in heaven also upon the earth!11 Give to us our bread sufficient for today,12 and remit for us our debts, as we also have remitted for our debtors.13 And do not bring us into trial, but deliver us from the Evil One.' "14 For if you would remit for men their transgressions, your heavenly Father shall also remit for you.15 But if you should not remit for men their transgressions, neither shall your Father remit your transgressions. "16 And when you should fast, do not be like the sullen-faced hypocrites, for they obscure their faces that they may appear to be fasting to men. Truly I say to you, they have their reward.17 But you fasting anoint your head and wash your face,18 that you should not appear to be fasting to men, but to your Father to whom it is in secret. And your Father who seeing shall repay you in secret. "19 Do not store up for you treasure upon the earth, where moth and corrosion obliterate and where thieves dig through and steal.20 But store up for you treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor corrosion obliterate and where thieves do not dig through nor steal.21 For where your treasure is, there also shall be your heart. "22 The lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore if your eye should be sincere, your whole body shall be bright.23 But if your eye should be evil, your whole body shall be dark. Then if the light in you is darkness, how great is that darkness! "24 No one is able to serve two masters. For either he would hate the one and would love the other, or he would endure the one and despise the other. You are not able to serve Yahweh and riches! "25 For this reason I say to you: Do not care for your life, what you should eat or what you should drink, nor for your body what you should wear. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?26 Look at the birds of heaven, that they do not sow nor harvest nor gather into storehouses, yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than them?27 Who caring from among you is able to add one cubit to his stature?28 And what do you care about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow. They do not toil nor spin yarn.29 But I say to you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was clothed as one of these!30 Now if the grass of the field exists today and tomorrow it is cast into a furnace Yahweh clothes thusly, how much more you, you of little faith?31 Therefore you should not have care, saying 'What should we eat?' or 'What should we drink?' or 'What should we wear?'32 For all these things the heathens seek after. Indeed your heavenly Father knows that you have need of all of these things.33 But you seek first the kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.34 Therefore you should not have care for tomorrow, for tomorrow shall care for itself. Sufficient for the day are its vices.
