[Matthew 6] {6:9} Thus therefore shall you pray: Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. {6:10} Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. {6:11} Give us this day our supersubstantial bread. {6:12} And forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors. {6:13} And lead us not into temptation. But deliver us from evil. Amen. {6:14} For if you will forgive men their offences, your heavenly Father will forgive you also your offences. {6:15} But if you will not forgive men, neither will your Father forgive you your offences. {6:16} And when you fast, be not as the hypocrites, sad. For they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Amen I say to you, they have received their reward. {6:17} But thou, when thou fastest anoint thy head, and wash thy face; {6:18} That thou appear not to men to fast, but to thy Father who is in secret: and thy Father who seeth in secret, will repay thee. {6:19} Lay not up to yourselves treasures on earth: where the rust, and moth consume, and where thieves break through, and steal. {6:20} But lay up to yourselves treasures in heaven: where neither the rust nor moth doth consume, and where thieves do not break through, nor steal. {6:21} For where thy treasure is, there is thy heart also. {6:22} The light of thy body is thy eye. If thy eye be single, thy whole body shall be lightsome. {6:23} But if thy eye be evil thy whole body shall be darksome. If then the light that is in thee, be darkness: the darkness itself how great shall it be! {6:24} No man can serve two masters. For either he will hate the one, and love the other: or he will sustain the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon. {6:25} Therefore I say to you, be not solicitous for your life, what you shall eat, nor for your body, what you shall put on. Is not the life more than the meat: and the body more than the raiment? {6:26} Behold the birds of the air, for they neither sow, nor do they reap, nor gather into barns: and your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are not you of much more value than they? {6:27} And which of you by taking thought, can add to his stature one cubit? {6:28} And for raiment why are you solicitous? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they labour not, neither do they spin. {6:29} But I say to you, that not even Solomon in all his glory was arrayed as one of these. {6:30} And if the grass of the field, which is to day, and to morrow is cast into the oven, God doth so clothe: how much more you, O ye of little faith? {6:31} Be not solicitous therefore, saying: What shall we eat: or what shall we drink, or wherewith shall we be clothed? {6:32} For after all these things do the heathens seek. For your Father knoweth that you have need of all these things. {6:33} Seek ye therefore first the kingdom of God, and his justice, and all these things shall be added unto you. {6:34} Be not therefore solicitous for to morrow; for the morrow will be solicitous for itself. Sufficient for the day is the evil thereof.
