1. "Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them, for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven.
|
1. Take heed G4337 that ye do G4160 not G3361 your G5216 alms G1654 before G1715 men G444 , to be seen G2300 of them G846 : otherwise G1490 ye have G2192 no G3756 reward G3408 of G3844 your G5216 Father G3962 which G3588 is in G1722 heaven G3772 .
|
|
2. "Thus, when you give to the needy, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be praised by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward.
|
2. Therefore G3767 when G3752 thou doest G4160 thine alms G1654 , do not G3361 sound a trumpet G4537 before G1715 thee G4675 , as G5618 the G3588 hypocrites G5273 do G4160 in G1722 the G3588 synagogues G4864 and G2532 in G1722 the G3588 streets G4505 , that G3704 they may have glory G1392 of G5259 men G444 . Verily G281 I say G3004 unto you G5213 , They have G568 their G848 reward G3408 .
|
|
3. But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,
|
3. But G1161 when thou G4675 doest G4160 alms G1654 , let not G3361 thy G4675 left hand G710 know G1097 what G5101 thy G4675 right hand G1188 doeth G4160 :
|
|
4. so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
|
4. That G3704 thine G4675 alms G1654 may be G5600 in G1722 secret G2927 : and G2532 thy G4675 Father G3962 which seeth G991 in G1722 secret G2927 himself G848 shall reward G591 thee G4671 openly G1722 G5318 .
|
|
5. "And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward.
|
5. And G2532 when G3752 thou prayest G4336 , thou shalt not G3756 be G2071 as G5618 the G3588 hypocrites G5273 are : for G3754 they love G5368 to pray G4336 standing G2476 in G1722 the G3588 synagogues G4864 and G2532 in G1722 the G3588 corners G1137 of the G3588 streets G4113 , that G3704 they may be seen G5316 G302 of men G444 . Verily G281 I say G3004 unto you G5213 , They have G568 their G848 reward G3408 .
|
|
6. But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
|
6. But G1161 thou G4771 , when G3752 thou prayest G4336 , enter G1525 into G1519 thy G4675 closet G5009 , and G2532 when thou hast shut G2808 thy G4675 door G2374 , pray G4336 to thy G4675 Father G3962 which G3588 is in G1722 secret G2927 ; and G2532 thy G4675 Father G3962 which seeth G991 in G1722 secret G2927 shall reward G591 thee G4671 openly G1722 G5318 .
|
|
7. "And when you pray, do not heap up empty phrases as the Gentiles do, for they think that they will be heard for their many words.
|
7. But G1161 when ye pray G4336 , use not vain repetitions G945 G3361 , as G5618 the G3588 heathen G1482 do : for G1063 they think G1380 that G3754 they shall be heard G1522 for G1722 their G848 much speaking G4180 .
|
|
8. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.
|
8. Be not G3361 ye therefore G3767 like unto G3666 them G846 : for G1063 your G5216 Father G3962 knoweth G1492 what things G3739 ye have G2192 need G5532 of, before G4253 ye G5209 ask G154 him G846 .
|
|
9. Pray then like this: "Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name.
|
9. After this manner G3779 therefore G3767 pray G4336 ye G5210 : Our G2257 Father G3962 which G3588 art in G1722 heaven G3772 , Hallowed G37 be thy G4675 name G3686 .
|
|
10. Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
|
10. Thy G4675 kingdom G932 come G2064 . Thy G4675 will G2307 be done G1096 in G1909 earth G1093 , as G5613 it is in G1722 heaven G3772 .
|
|
11. Give us this day our daily bread,
|
11. Give G1325 us G2254 this day G4594 our G2257 daily G1967 bread G740 .
|
|
12. and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.
|
12. And G2532 forgive G863 us G2254 our G2257 debts G3783 , as G5613 we G2249 forgive G863 our G2257 debtors G3781 .
|
|
13. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
|
13. And G2532 lead G1533 us G2248 not G3361 into G1519 temptation G3986 , but G235 deliver G4506 us G2248 from G575 evil G4190 : For G3754 thine G4675 is G2076 the G3588 kingdom G932 , and G2532 the G3588 power G1411 , and G2532 the G3588 glory G1391 , forever G1519 G165 . Amen G281 .
|
|
14. For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you,
|
14. For G1063 if G1437 ye forgive G863 men G444 their G846 trespasses G3900 , your G5216 heavenly G3770 Father G3962 will also G2532 forgive G863 you G5213 :
|
|
15. but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
|
15. But G1161 if G1437 ye forgive G863 not G3361 men G444 their G846 trespasses G3900 , neither G3761 will your G5216 Father G3962 forgive G863 your G5216 trespasses G3900 .
|
|
16. "And when you fast, do not look gloomy like the hypocrites, for they disfigure their faces that their fasting may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward.
|
16. Moreover G1161 when G3752 ye fast G3522 , be G1096 not G3361 , as G5618 the G3588 hypocrites G5273 , of a sad countenance G4659 : for G1063 they disfigure G853 their G848 faces G4383 , that G3704 they may appear G5316 unto men G444 to fast G3522 . Verily G281 I say G3004 unto you G5213 , They have G568 their G848 reward G3408 .
|
|
17. But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face,
|
17. But G1161 thou G4771 , when thou fastest G3522 , anoint G218 thine G4675 head G2776 , and G2532 wash G3538 thy G4675 face G4383 ;
|
|
18. that your fasting may not be seen by others but by your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
|
18. That G3704 thou appear G5316 not G3361 unto men G444 to fast G3522 , but G235 unto thy G4675 Father G3962 which G3588 is in G1722 secret G2927 : and G2532 thy G4675 Father G3962 , which seeth G991 in G1722 secret G2927 , shall reward G591 thee G4671 openly G1722 G5318 .
|
|
19. "Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal,
|
19. Lay not up G2343 G3361 for yourselves G5213 treasures G2344 upon G1909 earth G1093 , where G3699 moth G4597 and G2532 rust G1035 doth corrupt G853 , and G2532 where G3699 thieves G2812 break through G1358 and G2532 steal G2813 :
|
|
20. but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal.
|
20. But G1161 lay up G2343 for yourselves G5213 treasures G2344 in G1722 heaven G3772 , where G3699 neither G3777 moth G4597 nor G3777 rust G1035 doth corrupt G853 , and G2532 where G3699 thieves G2812 do not G3756 break through G1358 nor G3761 steal G2813 :
|
|
21. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
|
21. For G1063 where G3699 your G5216 treasure G2344 is G2076 , there G1563 will your G5216 heart G2588 be G2071 also G2532 .
|
|
22. "The eye is the lamp of the body. So, if your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light,
|
22. The G3588 light G3088 of the G3588 body G4983 is G2076 the G3588 eye G3788 : if G1437 therefore G3767 thine G4675 eye G3788 be G5600 single G573 , thy G4675 whole G3650 body G4983 shall be G2071 full of light G5460 .
|
|
23. but if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!
|
23. But G1161 if G1437 thine G4675 eye G3788 be G5600 evil G4190 , thy G4675 whole G3650 body G4983 shall be G2071 full of darkness G4652 . If G1487 therefore G3767 the G3588 light G5457 that G3588 is in G1722 thee G4671 be G2076 darkness G4655 , how great G4214 is that darkness G4655 !
|
|
24. "No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.
|
24. No man G3762 can G1410 serve G1398 two G1417 masters G2962 : for G1063 either G2228 he will hate G3404 the G3588 one G1520 , and G2532 love G25 the G3588 other G2087 ; or G2228 else he will hold G472 to the one G1520 , and G2532 despise G2706 the G3588 other G2087 . Ye cannot G1410 G3756 serve G1398 God G2316 and G2532 mammon G3126 .
|
|
25. "Therefore I tell 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 life more than food, and the body more than clothing?
|
25. Therefore G1223 G5124 I say G3004 unto you G5213 , Take no thought G3309 G3361 for your G5216 life G5590 , what G5101 ye shall eat G5315 , or G2532 what G5101 ye shall drink G4095 ; nor yet G3366 for your G5216 body G4983 , what G5101 ye shall put on G1746 . Is G2076 not G3780 the G3588 life G5590 more G4119 than meat G5160 , and G2532 the G3588 body G4983 than raiment G1742 ?
|
|
26. Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?
|
26. Behold G1689 G1519 the G3588 fowls G4071 of the G3588 air G3772 : for G3754 they sow G4687 not G3756 , neither G3761 do they reap G2325 , nor G3761 gather G4863 into G1519 barns G596 ; yet G2532 your G5216 heavenly G3770 Father G3962 feedeth G5142 them G846 . Are ye not much better G1308 G5210 G3756 G3123 than they G846 ?
|
|
27. And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life?
|
27. G1161 Which G5101 of G1537 you G5216 by taking thought G3309 can G1410 add G4369 one G1520 cubit G4083 unto G1909 his G848 stature G2244 ?
|
|
28. And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin,
|
28. And G2532 why G5101 take ye thought G3309 for G4012 raiment G1742 ? Consider G2648 the G3588 lilies G2918 of the G3588 field G68 , how G4459 they grow G837 ; they toil G2872 not G3756 , neither G3761 do they spin G3514 :
|
|
29. yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
|
29. And G1161 yet I say G3004 unto you G5213 , That G3754 even G3761 Solomon G4672 in G1722 all G3956 his G848 glory G1391 was not arrayed G4016 like G5613 one G1520 of these G5130 .
|
|
30. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
|
30. Wherefore G1161 , if G1487 God G2316 so G3779 clothe G294 the G3588 grass G5528 of the G3588 field G68 , which today G4594 is G5607 , and G2532 tomorrow G839 is cast G906 into G1519 the oven G2823 , shall he not G3756 much G4183 more G3123 clothe you G5209 , O ye of little faith G3640 ?
|
|
31. Therefore do not be anxious, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?'
|
31. Therefore G3767 take no thought G3309 G3361 , saying G3004 , What G5101 shall we eat G5315 ? or G2228 , What G5101 shall we drink G4095 ? or G2228 , Wherewithal G5101 shall we be clothed G4016 ?
|
|
32. For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all.
|
32. ( For G1063 after all G3956 these things G5023 do the G3588 Gentiles G1484 seek G1934 :) for G1063 your G5216 heavenly G3770 Father G3962 knoweth G1492 that G3754 ye have need G5535 of all G537 these things G5130 .
|
|
33. But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
|
33. But G1161 seek G2212 ye first G4412 the G3588 kingdom G932 of God G2316 , and G2532 his G846 righteousness G1343 ; and G2532 all G3956 these things G5023 shall be added G4369 unto you G5213 .
|
|
34. "Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.
|
34. Take therefore no thought G3361 G3767 G3309 for G1519 the G3588 morrow G839 : for G1063 the G3588 morrow G839 shall take thought G3309 for the things G3588 of itself G1438 . Sufficient G713 unto the G3588 day G2250 is the G3588 evil G2549 thereof G846 .
