| 1 | "Beware of practicing your piety before men in order to be seen by them; for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven. | Teaching about Almsgiving Mt.6.1-4 (Galilee) - | |
| 2 | "Thus, when you give alms, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be praised by men. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. | ||
| 3 | But when you give alms, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, | ||
| 4 | so that your alms may be in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you. | ||
| 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 men. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. | Teaching about Prayer Mt.6.5-15 (Galilee) -[ Mt.6.5-15 → ] - Lk.11.2-4 | |
| 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. | ||
| 7 | "And in praying do not heap up empty phrases as the Gentiles do; for they think that they will be heard for their many words. | ||
| 8 | Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him. | ||
| 9 | Pray then like this: Hallowed be your name. | ||
| 10 | Your kingdom come. Your will be done, On earth as it is in heaven. | ||
| 11 | Give us this day our daily bread; | ||
| 12 | And forgive us our debts, As we also have forgiven our debtors; | ||
| 13 | And lead us not into temptation, But deliver us from evil. | ||
| 14 | For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father also will forgive you; | ||
| 15 | but if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. | ||
| 16 | "And when you fast, do not look dismal, like the hypocrites, for they disfigure their faces that their fasting may be seen by men. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. | Teaching about Fasting Mt.6.16-18 (Galilee) - | |
| 17 | But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, | ||
| 18 | that your fasting may not be seen by men but by your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you. | ||
| 19 | "Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust consume and where thieves break in and steal, | Treasure in Heaven Mt.6.19-21 (Galilee) -[ Mt.6.19-21 → ] - Lk.12.33-34 | |
| 20 | but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consumes and where thieves do not break in and steal. | ||
| 21 | For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. | ||
| 22 | "The eye is the lamp of the body. So, if your eye is sound, your whole body will be full of light; | The Light of the Body Mt.6.22-23 (Galilee) -[ Mt.6.22-23 → ] - Lk.11.34-36 | |
| 23 | but if your eye is not sound, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light in you is darkness, how great is the darkness! | ||
| 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 mammon. | God and Mammon Mt.6.24 (Galilee) -[ Mt.6.24 → ] - Lk.16.13 | |
| 25 | "Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you shall eat , nor about your body, what you shall put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? | ← Care and Anxiety Mt.6.25-34 (Galilee) -[ Mt.6.25-34 → ] - Lk.12.22-34 | |
| 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? | ||
| 27 | And which of you by being anxious can add one cubit to his span of life? | ||
| 28 | And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they neither toil nor spin; | ||
| 29 | yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. | ||
| 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 men of little faith? | ||
| 31 | Therefore do not be anxious, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' | ||
| 32 | For the Gentiles seek all these things; and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. | ||
| 33 | But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things shall be yours as well. | ||
| 34 | "Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Let the day's own trouble be sufficient for the day. | ||
