Matthew 6

1 Take heed that you do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise you have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.
Compare verse
2 Therefore when you do your alms, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Truly I say to you, They have their reward.
Compare verse
3 But when you do alms, let not your left hand know what your right hand does:
Compare verse
4 That your alms may be in secret: and your Father which sees in secret himself shall reward you openly.
Compare verse
5 And when you pray, you shall 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. Truly I say to you, They have their reward.
Compare verse
6 But you, when you pray, enter into your closet, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father which is in secret; and your Father which sees in secret shall reward you openly.
Compare verse
7 But when you pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
Compare verse
8 Be not you therefore like to them: for your Father knows what things you have need of, before you ask him.
Compare verse
9 After this manner therefore pray you: Our Father which are in heaven, Hallowed be your name.
Compare verse
10 Your kingdom come, Your will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
Compare verse
11 Give us this day our daily bread.
Compare verse
12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
Compare verse
13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For your is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
Compare verse
14 For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:
Compare verse
15 But if you forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
Compare verse
16 Moreover when you fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear to men to fast. Truly I say to you, They have their reward.
Compare verse
17 But you, when you fast, anoint your head, and wash your face;
Compare verse
18 That you appear not to men to fast, but to your Father which is in secret: and your Father, which sees in secret, shall reward you openly.
Compare verse
19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust does corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
Compare verse
20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust does corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
Compare verse
21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Compare verse
22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore your eye be single, your whole body shall be full of light.
Compare verse
23 But if your eye be evil, your whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you be darkness, how great is that darkness!
Compare verse
24 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. You cannot serve God and mammon.
Compare verse
25 Therefore I say to you, Take no thought for your life, what you shall eat, or what you shall drink; nor yet for your body, what you shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
Compare verse
26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much better than they?
Compare verse
27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit to his stature?
Compare verse
28 And why take you thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
Compare verse
29 And yet I say to you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
Compare verse
30 Why, 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 you of little faith?
Compare verse
31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
Compare verse
32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knows that you have need of all these things.
Compare verse
33 But seek you first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added to you.
Compare verse
34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient to the day is the evil thereof.
