^{1 Ref} Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.

^{2 Ref} Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

^{3 Ref} But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:

^{4 Ref} That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.

^{5 Ref} And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

^{6 Ref} But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.

^{7 Ref} But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.

^{8 Ref} Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.

^{9 Ref} After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

^{10 Ref} Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

^{11 Ref} Give us this day our daily bread.

^{12 Ref} And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

^{13 Ref} And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

^{14 Ref} For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:

^{15 Ref} But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

^{16 Ref} Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

^{17 Ref} But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face;

^{18 Ref} That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly.

^{19 Ref} Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:

^{20 Ref} But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:

^{21 Ref} For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

^{22 Ref} The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.

^{23 Ref} But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!

^{24 Ref} No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

^{25 Ref} Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?

^{26 Ref} Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?

^{27 Ref} Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?

^{28 Ref} And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:

^{29 Ref} And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

^{30 Ref} Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?

^{31 Ref} Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?

^{32 Ref} (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.

^{33 Ref} But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

^{34 Ref} Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
