Concerning the righteous deeds of the kingdom people
6:1-18
Matt. 6
:1
6:1
1But take care not to do your
2righteousness 3before men in order to be
agazed at by them; otherwise, you have no reward with your
4Father who is in the heavens.
Matt. 6
:2
6:2
Therefore when you
agive alms, do not
1sound a trumpet before you as the
2bhypocrites do in the
3synagogues and in the streets, so that they may be
cglorified by men. Truly I say to you, They have their reward in full.
Matt. 6
:3
6:3
But you, when you give alms, do not let your
1left hand know what your right hand is doing,
Matt. 6
:4
6:4
So that your alms may be in
1asecret; and your Father who
2sees in secret will
3brepay you.
Matt. 6
:5
6:5
And when you pray, you shall not be like the
ahypocrites, because they love to
bpray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners, so that they may be seen by men. Truly I say to you, They have
1their reward in full.
Matt. 6
:6
6:6
But you, when you pray, enter into your
1private room, and
ashut your door and pray to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in
bsecret will repay you.
Matt. 6
:7
6:7
And in praying do
1not babble empty words as the Gentiles do; for they suppose that in their
amultiplicity of words they will be heard.
Matt. 6
:8
6:8
Therefore do not be like them, for your Father
aknows the things that you have need of before you
1ask Him.
Matt. 6
:9
6:9
aYou then pray
1in this way: Our
bFather who is in the heavens,
2Your name be
csanctified;
Matt. 6
:10
6:10
Your akingdom come; Your
bwill be done, as in heaven,
so also on
1earth.
Matt. 6
:11
6:11
1Give us
2today our
3daily bread.
Matt. 6
:12
6:12
And 1aforgive us our debts, as we also have
1forgiven our debtors.
Matt. 6
:13
6:13
And do
1not bring us into
atemptation, but
bdeliver us from
2the cevil one.
3For Yours is the
4dkingdom and the
epower and the
fglory forever.
5gAmen.
Matt. 6
:14
6:14
1For if you
aforgive men their offenses, your heavenly Father will forgive you also;
Matt. 6
:15
6:15
But if you do
anot forgive men their offenses, neither will your Father forgive your offenses.
Matt. 6
:16
6:16
And when you
1afast, do not be like the sullen-faced hypocrites, for they disfigure their faces so that they may
bappear to men to be fasting. Truly I say to you, They have their reward in full.
Matt. 6
:17
6:17
But you, when you fast,
aanoint your head and wash your face,
Matt. 6
:18
6:18
So that you may not appear to men to be fasting, but to your Father who is in
asecret; and your Father who sees in secret will repay you.

Concerning the material riches of the kingdom people
6:19-34
Matt. 6
:19
6:19
1Do anot store up for yourselves treasures on the earth, where
bmoth and rust consume and where thieves dig through and steal.
Matt. 6
:20
6:20
But 1store up for yourselves
atreasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consumes and where thieves do not
bdig through nor steal.
Matt. 6
:21
6:21
For where your treasure is, there will your
1aheart be also.
Matt. 6
:22
6:22
The alamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is
1single, your whole body will be full of light;
Matt. 6
:23
6:23
But if your eye is
1evil, your whole body will be dark. If then the
2light that is in you is
adarkness, how great is the darkness!
Matt. 6
:24
6:24
No one can
1serve atwo masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will
2hold to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and
3bmammon.
Matt. 6
:25
6:25
Because of this, I say to you,
aDo not be
banxious for your
1life, what you should eat or what you should drink; nor for your body, what you should put on. Is not the life
2more than food, and the body than clothing?
Matt. 6
:26
6:26
Look at the
abirds of heaven. They do not sow nor reap nor gather into barns, yet your heavenly Father nourishes them. Are you not of more value than they?
Matt. 6
:27
6:27
Who among you by being anxious can add one cubit to
1his stature?
Matt. 6
:28
6:28
And why are you
aanxious concerning
bclothing? Consider well the
1clilies of the field, how they grow. They do not toil, neither do they spin
thread.
Matt. 6
:29
6:29
But I tell you that not even
aSolomon in all his glory was clothed like one of these.
Matt. 6
:30
6:30
And if God so arrays the
agrass of the field, which is
here today and tomorrow is cast into the furnace,
will He not much more
bclothe you, you of
clittle faith?
Matt. 6
:31
6:31
Therefore do not be
aanxious, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, With what shall we be clothed?
Matt. 6
:32
6:32
For all these things the Gentiles are anxiously seeking. For your
1heavenly Father knows that you
aneed all these things.
Matt. 6
:33
6:33
But seek first His
1akingdom and His
1brighteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
Matt. 6
:34
6:34
Therefore do not be
aanxious for
1btomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself; sufficient for the day is its
own 2evil.
