Matthew

Chapter 6

1 BE careful concerning your alms, not to do them in the presence of men, merely that they may see them; otherwise you have no reward with your Father in heaven.

2 Therefore when you give alms, do not blow a trumpet before you, just as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the market places, so that they may be glorified by men. Truly I say to you, that they have already received their reward.

3 But when you give alms, let not your left hand know what your right hand is doing;

4 So that your alms may be done secretly, and your Father who sees in secret, shall himself reward you openly.

5 And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, who like to pray, standing in the synagogues and at the street corners, so that they may be seen by men. Truly I say to you, that they have already received their reward.

6 But you, when you pray, enter into your inner chamber, and lock your door, and pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father who sees in secret he himself shall reward you openly.

7 And when you pray, do not repeat your words like the pagans, for they think that because of much talking they will be heard.

8 Therefore, do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need, before you ask him.

9 Therefore pray in this manner: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be thy name.

10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven so on earth.

11 Give us bread for our needs from day to day.

12 And forgive us our offences, as we have forgiven our offenders;

13 And do not let us enter into temptation, but deliver us from error. Because thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory for ever and ever. Amen.

14 For if you forgive men their faults, your Father in heaven will also forgive you.

15 But if you do not forgive men, neither will your Father forgive even your faults.

16 When you fast, do not look sad like the hypocrites; for they disfigure their faces, so that they may appear to men that they are fasting. Truly I say to you, that they have already received their reward.

17 But you, when you fast, wash your face and anoint your head;

18 So that it may not appear to men that you are fasting, but to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret, he will reward you.

19 Do not lay up for yourselves treasures buried in the ground, a place where rust and moth destroy, and where thieves break through and steal.

20 But lay up for yourselves a treasure in heaven, where neither rust nor moth destroy, and where thieves do not break through and steal.

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

22 The eye is the lamp of the body; if therefore your eye be clear, your whole body is also lighted.

23 But if your eye is diseased, your whole body will be dark. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how much more will be your darkness.

24 No man can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one, and like the other; or he will honor one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon (wealth).

25 For this reason, I say to you, Do not worry for your life, what you will eat, and what you will drink, nor for your body, what you will wear. Behold, is not life much more important than food, and the body than clothing?

26 Watch the birds of the sky, for they do not sow, neither do they harvest, nor gather into barns, and yet your Father in heaven feeds them. Are you not much more important than they?

27 Who is among you who by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?

28 Why do you worry about clothing? Observe the wild flowers, how they grow; they do not get tired out, nor do they spin.

29 But I say to you, that not even Solomon with all of his glory was covered like one of them.

30 Now if God clothes in such fashion the grass of the field, which today is and tomorrow falls into the fireplace, is he not much more to you, O you of little faith?

31 Therefore do not worry or say, What will we eat, or what will we drink, or with what will we be clothed?

32 For worldly people seek after all these things. Your Father in heaven knows that all of these things are also necessary for you.

33 But you seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all of these things shall be added to you.

34 Therefore do not worry for tomorrow; for tomorrow will look after its own. Sufficient for each day, is its own trouble.

Matthew

Chapter 6

1 Take heed4337 that ye do4160 not3361 your5216 alms1654 before1715 men,444 to be seen2300 of them: 846 otherwise1490 ye have2192 no3756 reward3408 of3844 your5216 Father3962 which3588 is in1722 heaven.3772

2 Therefore3767 when3752 thou doest4160 thine alms,1654 do not3361 sound a trumpet4537 before1715 thee,4675 as5618 the3588 hypocrites5273 do4160 in1722 the3588 synagogues4864 and2532 in1722 the3588 streets,4505 that3704 they may have glory1392 of5259 men.444 Verily281 I say3004 unto you,5213 They have568 their848 reward.3408

3 But1161 when thou4675 doest4160 alms,1654 let not3361 thy4675 left hand710 know1097 what5101 thy4675 right hand1188 doeth: 4160

4 That3704 thine4675 alms1654 may be5600 in1722 secret: 2927 and2532 thy4675 Father3962 which seeth991 in1722 secret2927 himself848 shall reward591 thee4671 openly.1722 5318

5 And2532 when3752 thou prayest,4336 thou shalt not3756 be2071 as5618 the3588 hypocrites5273 are: for3754 they love5368 to pray4336 standing2476 in1722 the3588 synagogues4864 and2532 in1722 the3588 corners1137 of the3588 streets,4113 that3704 they may be seen5316 302 of men.444 Verily281 I say3004 unto you,5213 They have568 their848 reward.3408

6 But1161 thou,4771 when3752 thou prayest,4336 enter1525 into1519 thy4675 closet,5009 and2532 when thou hast shut2808 thy4675 door,2374 pray4336 to thy4675 Father3962 which3588 is in1722 secret;2927 and2532 thy4675 Father3962 which seeth991 in1722 secret2927 shall reward591 thee4671 openly.1722 5318

7 But1161 when ye pray,4336 use not vain repetitions,945 3361 as5618 the3588 heathen1482 do: for1063 they think1380 that3754 they shall be heard1522 for1722 their848 much speaking.4180

8 Be not3361 ye therefore3767 like unto3666 them: 846 for1063 your5216 Father3962 knoweth1492 what things3739 ye have2192 need5532 of, before4253 ye5209 ask154 him.846

9 After this manner3779 therefore3767 pray4336 ye: 5210 Our2257 Father3962 which3588 art in1722 heaven,3772 Hallowed37 be thy4675 name.3686

10 Thy4675 kingdom932 come.2064 Thy4675 will2307 be done1096 in1909 earth,1093 as5613 it is in1722 heaven.3772

11 Give1325 us2254 this day4594 our2257 daily1967 bread.740

12 And2532 forgive863 us2254 our2257 debts,3783 as5613 we2249 forgive863 our2257 debtors.3781

13 And2532 lead1533 us2248 not3361 into1519 temptation,3986 but235 deliver4506 us2248 from575 evil: 4190 For3754 thine4675 is2076 the3588 kingdom,932 and2532 the3588 power,1411 and2532 the3588 glory,1391 forever.1519 165 Amen.281

14 For1063 if1437 ye forgive863 men444 their846 trespasses,3900 your5216 heavenly3770 Father3962 will also2532 forgive863 you: 5213

15 But1161 if1437 ye forgive863 not3361 men444 their846 trespasses,3900 neither3761 will your5216 Father3962 forgive863 your5216 trespasses.3900

16 Moreover1161 when3752 ye fast,3522 be1096 not,3361 as5618 the3588 hypocrites,5273 of a sad countenance: 4659 for1063 they disfigure853 their848 faces,4383 that3704 they may appear5316 unto men444 to fast.3522 Verily281 I say3004 unto you,5213 They have568 their848 reward.3408

17 But1161 thou,4771 when thou fastest,3522 anoint218 thine4675 head,2776 and2532 wash3538 thy4675 face;4383

18 That3704 thou appear5316 not3361 unto men444 to fast,3522 but235 unto thy4675 Father3962 which3588 is in1722 secret: 2927 and2532 thy4675 Father,3962 which seeth991 in1722 secret,2927 shall reward591 thee4671 openly.1722 5318

19 Lay not up2343 3361 for yourselves5213 treasures2344 upon1909 earth,1093 where3699 moth4597 and2532 rust1035 doth corrupt,853 and2532 where3699 thieves2812 break through1358 and2532 steal: 2813

20 But1161 lay up2343 for yourselves5213 treasures2344 in1722 heaven,3772 where3699 neither3777 moth4597 nor3777 rust1035 doth corrupt,853 and2532 where3699 thieves2812 do not3756 break through1358 nor3761 steal: 2813

21 For1063 where3699 your5216 treasure2344 is,2076 there1563 will your5216 heart2588 be2071 also.2532

22 The3588 light3088 of the3588 body4983 is2076 the3588 eye: 3788 if1437 therefore3767 thine4675 eye3788 be5600 single,573 thy4675 whole3650 body4983 shall be2071 full of light.5460

23 But1161 if1437 thine4675 eye3788 be5600 evil,4190 thy4675 whole3650 body4983 shall be2071 full of darkness.4652 If1487 therefore3767 the3588 light5457 that3588 is in1722 thee4671 be2076 darkness,4655 how great4214 is that darkness!4655

24 No man3762 can1410 serve1398 two1417 masters: 2962 for1063 either2228 he will hate3404 the3588 one,1520 and2532 love25 the3588 other;2087 or2228 else he will hold472 to the one,1520 and2532 despise2706 the3588 other.2087 Ye cannot1410 3756 serve1398 God2316 and2532 mammon.3126

25 Therefore1223 5124 I say3004 unto you,5213 Take no thought3309 3361 for your5216 life,5590 what5101 ye shall eat,5315 or2532 what5101 ye shall drink;4095 nor yet3366 for your5216 body,4983 what5101 ye shall put on.1746 Is2076 not3780 the3588 life5590 more4119 than meat,5160 and2532 the3588 body4983 than raiment?1742

26 Behold1689 1519 the3588 fowls4071 of the3588 air: 3772 for3754 they sow4687 not,3756 neither3761 do they reap,2325 nor3761 gather4863 into1519 barns;596 yet2532 your5216 heavenly3770 Father3962 feedeth5142 them.846 Are ye not much better1308 5210 3756 3123 than they?846

27 1161 Which5101 of1537 you5216 by taking thought3309 can1410 add4369 one1520 cubit4083 unto1909 his848 stature?2244

28 And2532 why5101 take ye thought3309 for4012 raiment?1742 Consider2648 the3588 lilies2918 of the3588 field,68 how4459 they grow;837 they toil2872 not,3756 neither3761 do they spin: 3514

29 And1161 yet I say3004 unto you,5213 That3754 even3761 Solomon4672 in1722 all3956 his848 glory1391 was not arrayed4016 like5613 one1520 of these.5130

30 Wherefore,1161 if1487 God2316 so3779 clothe294 the3588 grass5528 of the3588 field,68 which today4594 is,5607 and2532 tomorrow839 is cast906 into1519 the oven,2823 shall he not3756 much4183 more3123 clothe you,5209 O ye of little faith?3640

31 Therefore3767 take no thought,3309 3361 saying,3004 What5101 shall we eat?5315 or,2228 What5101 shall we drink?4095 or,2228 Wherewithal5101 shall we be clothed?4016

32 (For1063 after all3956 these things5023 do the3588 Gentiles1484 seek: )1934 for1063 your5216 heavenly3770 Father3962 knoweth1492 that3754 ye have need5535 of all537 these things.5130

33 But1161 seek2212 ye first4412 the3588 kingdom932 of God,2316 and2532 his846 righteousness;1343 and2532 all3956 these things5023 shall be added4369 unto you.5213

34 Take therefore no thought3361 3767 3309 for1519 the3588 morrow: 839 for1063 the3588 morrow839 shall take thought3309 for the things3588 of itself.1438 Sufficient713 unto the3588 day2250 is the3588 evil2549 thereof.846

1 BE careful concerning your alms, not to do them in the presence of men, merely that they may see them; otherwise you have no reward with your Father in heaven.

1 Take heed4337 that ye do4160 not3361 your5216 alms1654 before1715 men,444 to be seen2300 of them: 846 otherwise1490 ye have2192 no3756 reward3408 of3844 your5216 Father3962 which3588 is in1722 heaven.3772

2 Therefore when you give alms, do not blow a trumpet before you, just as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the market places, so that they may be glorified by men. Truly I say to you, that they have already received their reward.

2 Therefore3767 when3752 thou doest4160 thine alms,1654 do not3361 sound a trumpet4537 before1715 thee,4675 as5618 the3588 hypocrites5273 do4160 in1722 the3588 synagogues4864 and2532 in1722 the3588 streets,4505 that3704 they may have glory1392 of5259 men.444 Verily281 I say3004 unto you,5213 They have568 their848 reward.3408

3 But when you give alms, let not your left hand know what your right hand is doing;

3 But1161 when thou4675 doest4160 alms,1654 let not3361 thy4675 left hand710 know1097 what5101 thy4675 right hand1188 doeth: 4160

4 So that your alms may be done secretly, and your Father who sees in secret, shall himself reward you openly.

4 That3704 thine4675 alms1654 may be5600 in1722 secret: 2927 and2532 thy4675 Father3962 which seeth991 in1722 secret2927 himself848 shall reward591 thee4671 openly.1722 5318

5 And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, who like to pray, standing in the synagogues and at the street corners, so that they may be seen by men. Truly I say to you, that they have already received their reward.

5 And2532 when3752 thou prayest,4336 thou shalt not3756 be2071 as5618 the3588 hypocrites5273 are: for3754 they love5368 to pray4336 standing2476 in1722 the3588 synagogues4864 and2532 in1722 the3588 corners1137 of the3588 streets,4113 that3704 they may be seen5316 302 of men.444 Verily281 I say3004 unto you,5213 They have568 their848 reward.3408

6 But you, when you pray, enter into your inner chamber, and lock your door, and pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father who sees in secret he himself shall reward you openly.

6 But1161 thou,4771 when3752 thou prayest,4336 enter1525 into1519 thy4675 closet,5009 and2532 when thou hast shut2808 thy4675 door,2374 pray4336 to thy4675 Father3962 which3588 is in1722 secret;2927 and2532 thy4675 Father3962 which seeth991 in1722 secret2927 shall reward591 thee4671 openly.1722 5318

7 And when you pray, do not repeat your words like the pagans, for they think that because of much talking they will be heard.

7 But1161 when ye pray,4336 use not vain repetitions,945 3361 as5618 the3588 heathen1482 do: for1063 they think1380 that3754 they shall be heard1522 for1722 their848 much speaking.4180

8 Therefore, do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need, before you ask him.

8 Be not3361 ye therefore3767 like unto3666 them: 846 for1063 your5216 Father3962 knoweth1492 what things3739 ye have2192 need5532 of, before4253 ye5209 ask154 him.846

9 Therefore pray in this manner: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be thy name.

9 After this manner3779 therefore3767 pray4336 ye: 5210 Our2257 Father3962 which3588 art in1722 heaven,3772 Hallowed37 be thy4675 name.3686

10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven so on earth.

10 Thy4675 kingdom932 come.2064 Thy4675 will2307 be done1096 in1909 earth,1093 as5613 it is in1722 heaven.3772

11 Give us bread for our needs from day to day.

11 Give1325 us2254 this day4594 our2257 daily1967 bread.740

12 And forgive us our offences, as we have forgiven our offenders;

12 And2532 forgive863 us2254 our2257 debts,3783 as5613 we2249 forgive863 our2257 debtors.3781

13 And do not let us enter into temptation, but deliver us from error. Because thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory for ever and ever. Amen.

13 And2532 lead1533 us2248 not3361 into1519 temptation,3986 but235 deliver4506 us2248 from575 evil: 4190 For3754 thine4675 is2076 the3588 kingdom,932 and2532 the3588 power,1411 and2532 the3588 glory,1391 forever.1519 165 Amen.281

14 For if you forgive men their faults, your Father in heaven will also forgive you.

14 For1063 if1437 ye forgive863 men444 their846 trespasses,3900 your5216 heavenly3770 Father3962 will also2532 forgive863 you: 5213

15 But if you do not forgive men, neither will your Father forgive even your faults.

15 But1161 if1437 ye forgive863 not3361 men444 their846 trespasses,3900 neither3761 will your5216 Father3962 forgive863 your5216 trespasses.3900

16 When you fast, do not look sad like the hypocrites; for they disfigure their faces, so that they may appear to men that they are fasting. Truly I say to you, that they have already received their reward.

16 Moreover1161 when3752 ye fast,3522 be1096 not,3361 as5618 the3588 hypocrites,5273 of a sad countenance: 4659 for1063 they disfigure853 their848 faces,4383 that3704 they may appear5316 unto men444 to fast.3522 Verily281 I say3004 unto you,5213 They have568 their848 reward.3408

17 But you, when you fast, wash your face and anoint your head;

17 But1161 thou,4771 when thou fastest,3522 anoint218 thine4675 head,2776 and2532 wash3538 thy4675 face;4383

18 So that it may not appear to men that you are fasting, but to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret, he will reward you.

18 That3704 thou appear5316 not3361 unto men444 to fast,3522 but235 unto thy4675 Father3962 which3588 is in1722 secret: 2927 and2532 thy4675 Father,3962 which seeth991 in1722 secret,2927 shall reward591 thee4671 openly.1722 5318

19 Do not lay up for yourselves treasures buried in the ground, a place where rust and moth destroy, and where thieves break through and steal.

19 Lay not up2343 3361 for yourselves5213 treasures2344 upon1909 earth,1093 where3699 moth4597 and2532 rust1035 doth corrupt,853 and2532 where3699 thieves2812 break through1358 and2532 steal: 2813

20 But lay up for yourselves a treasure in heaven, where neither rust nor moth destroy, and where thieves do not break through and steal.

20 But1161 lay up2343 for yourselves5213 treasures2344 in1722 heaven,3772 where3699 neither3777 moth4597 nor3777 rust1035 doth corrupt,853 and2532 where3699 thieves2812 do not3756 break through1358 nor3761 steal: 2813

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

21 For1063 where3699 your5216 treasure2344 is,2076 there1563 will your5216 heart2588 be2071 also.2532

22 The eye is the lamp of the body; if therefore your eye be clear, your whole body is also lighted.

22 The3588 light3088 of the3588 body4983 is2076 the3588 eye: 3788 if1437 therefore3767 thine4675 eye3788 be5600 single,573 thy4675 whole3650 body4983 shall be2071 full of light.5460

23 But if your eye is diseased, your whole body will be dark. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how much more will be your darkness.

23 But1161 if1437 thine4675 eye3788 be5600 evil,4190 thy4675 whole3650 body4983 shall be2071 full of darkness.4652 If1487 therefore3767 the3588 light5457 that3588 is in1722 thee4671 be2076 darkness,4655 how great4214 is that darkness!4655

24 No man can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one, and like the other; or he will honor one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon (wealth).

24 No man3762 can1410 serve1398 two1417 masters: 2962 for1063 either2228 he will hate3404 the3588 one,1520 and2532 love25 the3588 other;2087 or2228 else he will hold472 to the one,1520 and2532 despise2706 the3588 other.2087 Ye cannot1410 3756 serve1398 God2316 and2532 mammon.3126

25 For this reason, I say to you, Do not worry for your life, what you will eat, and what you will drink, nor for your body, what you will wear. Behold, is not life much more important than food, and the body than clothing?

25 Therefore1223 5124 I say3004 unto you,5213 Take no thought3309 3361 for your5216 life,5590 what5101 ye shall eat,5315 or2532 what5101 ye shall drink;4095 nor yet3366 for your5216 body,4983 what5101 ye shall put on.1746 Is2076 not3780 the3588 life5590 more4119 than meat,5160 and2532 the3588 body4983 than raiment?1742

26 Watch the birds of the sky, for they do not sow, neither do they harvest, nor gather into barns, and yet your Father in heaven feeds them. Are you not much more important than they?

26 Behold1689 1519 the3588 fowls4071 of the3588 air: 3772 for3754 they sow4687 not,3756 neither3761 do they reap,2325 nor3761 gather4863 into1519 barns;596 yet2532 your5216 heavenly3770 Father3962 feedeth5142 them.846 Are ye not much better1308 5210 3756 3123 than they?846

27 Who is among you who by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?

27 1161 Which5101 of1537 you5216 by taking thought3309 can1410 add4369 one1520 cubit4083 unto1909 his848 stature?2244

28 Why do you worry about clothing? Observe the wild flowers, how they grow; they do not get tired out, nor do they spin.

28 And2532 why5101 take ye thought3309 for4012 raiment?1742 Consider2648 the3588 lilies2918 of the3588 field,68 how4459 they grow;837 they toil2872 not,3756 neither3761 do they spin: 3514

29 But I say to you, that not even Solomon with all of his glory was covered like one of them.

29 And1161 yet I say3004 unto you,5213 That3754 even3761 Solomon4672 in1722 all3956 his848 glory1391 was not arrayed4016 like5613 one1520 of these.5130

30 Now if God clothes in such fashion the grass of the field, which today is and tomorrow falls into the fireplace, is he not much more to you, O you of little faith?

30 Wherefore,1161 if1487 God2316 so3779 clothe294 the3588 grass5528 of the3588 field,68 which today4594 is,5607 and2532 tomorrow839 is cast906 into1519 the oven,2823 shall he not3756 much4183 more3123 clothe you,5209 O ye of little faith?3640

31 Therefore do not worry or say, What will we eat, or what will we drink, or with what will we be clothed?

31 Therefore3767 take no thought,3309 3361 saying,3004 What5101 shall we eat?5315 or,2228 What5101 shall we drink?4095 or,2228 Wherewithal5101 shall we be clothed?4016

32 For worldly people seek after all these things. Your Father in heaven knows that all of these things are also necessary for you.

32 (For1063 after all3956 these things5023 do the3588 Gentiles1484 seek: )1934 for1063 your5216 heavenly3770 Father3962 knoweth1492 that3754 ye have need5535 of all537 these things.5130

33 But you seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all of these things shall be added to you.

33 But1161 seek2212 ye first4412 the3588 kingdom932 of God,2316 and2532 his846 righteousness;1343 and2532 all3956 these things5023 shall be added4369 unto you.5213

34 Therefore do not worry for tomorrow; for tomorrow will look after its own. Sufficient for each day, is its own trouble.

34 Take therefore no thought3361 3767 3309 for1519 the3588 morrow: 839 for1063 the3588 morrow839 shall take thought3309 for the things3588 of itself.1438 Sufficient713 unto the3588 day2250 is the3588 evil2549 thereof.846
