[27] And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour 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 you 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 after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all.

[33] But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

[34] “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

[22] “The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy, your whole body will be full of light.

[23] But if your eyes are unhealthy, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!

[24] “No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.

[25] “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?

[26] Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?

[14] For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you,

[15] but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

[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.

[17] But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face,

[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.

[19] “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal,

[20] but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal.

[21] For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

[6] But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.

[7]But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.

[8] Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.

[9] After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

[10] Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

[11] Give us this day our daily bread.

[12] And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

[13] And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

[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.

[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.

[3] But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,

[4] so that your giving 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 others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward.

[43] “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’

[44] But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,

[45] that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.

[46] If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that?

[47] And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that?

[48] Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

[38] “You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’

[39] But I say to you, Do not resist the one who is evil. But if anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also.

[40] And if anyone would sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well.

[41] And if anyone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles.

[42] Give to the one who begs from you, and do not refuse the one who would borrow from you.

[33] “Again, you have heard that it was said to the people long ago, ‘Do not break your oath, but fulfill to the Lord the vows you have made.’

[34] But I tell you, do not swear an oath at all: either by heaven, for it is God’s throne;

[35] or by the earth, for it is his footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the Great King.

[36] And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make even one hair white or black.

[37] All you need to say is simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything beyond this comes from the evil one.

[27] “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’

[28] But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

[29] If your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body be thrown into hell.

[30] And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body go into hell.

[31] “It was also said, ‘Whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce.’

[32] But I say to you that everyone who divorces his wife, except on the ground of sexual immorality, makes her commit adultery, and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.
