1 "Take heed that you do not do your charitable deeds before men, to be seen by them. Otherwise you have no reward from your Father who is in heaven.
2 Therefore, when you do your charitable deeds, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory from men. Truthfully, I say to you, they have their reward.
3 But when you do your charitable deeds, let not your left hand know what your right hand is doing:
4 That your charitable deeds may be in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will Himself reward you openly.
5 "And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites are. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Truthfully, I say to you, They have their reward.
6 But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in that secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.
7 But when you pray, do not use vain repetitions, as the heathen do. For they think that they will be heard for their many words.
8 "Therefore do not be like them. For your Father knows what things you have need of, before you ask Him.
9 In this way therefore pray: Our Father who is in heaven, Hallowed be Your name.
10 Your kingdom come. Your will be done, on earth, as it is in heaven.
11 Give us this day our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
13 And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.
14 "For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
15 But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
16 "Moreover, when you fast, do not be like the hypocrites, with a sad countenance. For they disfigure their faces, that they may appear to men to be fasting. Truthfully, I say to you, they have their reward.
17 But you, when you fast, anoint your head, and wash your face,
18 so that you do not appear to men to be fasting, but to your Father who is in that secret place: and your Father who sees in secret, will reward you openly.
19 "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where neither moth nor rust corrodes, and where thieves do not break in and steal.
20 but store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust corrodes, and where thieves do not break in and steal.
21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
22 "The light of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is good, your whole body will be full of light.
23 But if your eye is corrupted, your whole body shall be filled with darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness!
24 "No man can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.
25 "Therefore I say to you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not this life more than food and the body more than clothing?
26 Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of much more value than they?
27 Which of you by being anxious can add one cubit to his stature?
28 "So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin;
29 and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
30 Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
31 "Therefore do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or, 'What shall we drink?' or, 'What shall we wear?'
32 For the Gentiles seek after all these things. For your heavenly Father knows that you have need of all these things.
33 But seek first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will care for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own problems.
