Watch then your alms, that you do not do them before the sons of men so that you may be seen by them. Otherwise you have no reward with your Father who is in heaven.

So when you do alms, do not sound a trumpet before you as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, so that they may be praised by the sons of men. Amen I say to you, they have received their reward.

But you, when you do alms, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,

so that your alms may be in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will repay you openly.

And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, who love to stand in the synagogues and at the corners of the streets to pray so that they may be seen by the sons of men. Amen I say to you, they have received their reward.

But you, when you pray, go into your inner room and shut your door and pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father who sees in secret will repay you openly.

And when you pray, do not be garrulous like the heathen; for they expect to be heard for their abundance of words.

Therefore do not be like them; for your Father knows what is needful for you before you ask him.

In this manner, therefore, pray: Our Father who is in heaven, hallowed be your name.¹

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

Give us our needful bread this day.¹

And forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors.¹

And do not bring us into trial, but deliver us from the evil one, because yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever.¹

For if you forgive the children of men their faults, your Father who is in heaven will also forgive you.

But if you do not forgive the children of men, neither will your Father forgive you your faults.

And when you fast, do not be gloomy like the face-takers, for they disfigure their faces so they may be seen by the children of men as fasting. Amen I say to you, they have received their reward.

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

so that you may not be seen by the children of men as fasting, but by your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will repay you.

Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on the earth, where moth and rust spoil, and where thieves dig through and steal.

But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where no moth and no rust spoil, and where thieves do not dig through and do not steal.

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

The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is sound, your whole body also is luminous.

But if your eye is evil, your whole body will be dark. If then the light that is in you is darkness, how great will your darkness be!

No one can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will honor the one and neglect the other. You cannot serve Elohim and mammon.

Because of this I say to you, do not be anxious for your life, what you will eat and what you will drink, nor for your body, what you will wear. Is not the life more than food, and the body more than clothing?

Look at the birds of heaven, that do not sow and do not reap and do not gather into storehouses, and your Father who is in heaven feeds them. Are you not more important than they?

And who of you by being anxious is able to add one cubit to his stature?

And about clothing, why are you anxious? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they do not toil and they do not spin.

But I say to you that not even Shleemon in all his glory was clothed like one of them.

And if Elohim so clothes the grass of the field, which today is and tomorrow falls into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, you of little faith?

Therefore do not be anxious or say, What will we eat, or what will we drink, or what will we wear?

For all these the nations seek. But your Father who is in heaven knows that all these are needed for you too.

But seek first the kingdom of Elohim and his righteousness, and all these will be added to you.

Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for its own. Sufficient for the day is its evil.
