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.
6:2  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.
6:3  But when you do alms, let not your left hand know what your right hand does:
6:4  That your alms may be in secret: and your Father which sees in secret himself shall reward you openly.
6:5  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.
6:6  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.
6:7  But when you pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
6:8  Be not you therefore like to them: for your Father knows what things you have need of, before you ask him.
6:9  After this manner therefore pray you: Our Father which are in heaven, Hallowed be your name.
6:10  Your kingdom come, Your will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
6:11  Give us this day our daily bread.
6:12  And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
6:13  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.
6:14  For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:
6:15  But if you forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
6:16  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.
6:17  But you, when you fast, anoint your head, and wash your face;
6:18  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.
6:19  Lay not up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust does corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
6:20  But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust does corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
6:21  For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
6:22  The light of the body is the eye: if therefore your eye be single, your whole body shall be full of light.
6:23  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!
6:24  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.
6:25  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?
6:26  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?
6:27  Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit to his stature?
6:28  And why take you thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
6:29  And yet I say to you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
6:30  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?
6:31  Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
6:32  (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knows that you have need of all these things.
6:33  But seek you first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added to you.
6:34  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.
