MATTHEW
Chapter 6
Matt | AKJV | 6:1 | Take heed that you do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise you have no reward of your Father which is in heaven. | |
Matt | AKJV | 6:2 | Therefore when you do your alms, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Truly I say to you, They have their reward. | |
Matt | AKJV | 6:4 | That your alms may be in secret: and your Father which sees in secret himself shall reward you openly. | |
Matt | AKJV | 6:5 | And when you pray, you shall not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Truly I say to you, They have their reward. | |
Matt | AKJV | 6:6 | But you, when you pray, enter into your closet, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father which is in secret; and your Father which sees in secret shall reward you openly. | |
Matt | AKJV | 6:7 | But when you pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. | |
Matt | AKJV | 6:8 | Be not you therefore like to them: for your Father knows what things you have need of, before you ask him. | |
Matt | AKJV | 6:9 | After this manner therefore pray you: Our Father which are in heaven, Hallowed be your name. | |
Matt | AKJV | 6:13 | And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For your is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. | |
Matt | AKJV | 6:15 | But if you forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. | |
Matt | AKJV | 6:16 | Moreover when you fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear to men to fast. Truly I say to you, They have their reward. | |
Matt | AKJV | 6:18 | That you appear not to men to fast, but to your Father which is in secret: and your Father, which sees in secret, shall reward you openly. | |
Matt | AKJV | 6:19 | Lay not up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust does corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: | |
Matt | AKJV | 6:20 | But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust does corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: | |
Matt | AKJV | 6:22 | The light of the body is the eye: if therefore your eye be single, your whole body shall be full of light. | |
Matt | AKJV | 6:23 | But if your eye be evil, your whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you be darkness, how great is that darkness! | |
Matt | AKJV | 6:24 | No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon. | |
Matt | AKJV | 6:25 | Therefore I say to you, Take no thought for your life, what you shall eat, or what you shall drink; nor yet for your body, what you shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? | |
Matt | AKJV | 6:26 | Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much better than they? | |
Matt | AKJV | 6:28 | And why take you thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: | |
Matt | AKJV | 6:29 | And yet I say to you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. | |
Matt | AKJV | 6:30 | Why, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? | |
Matt | AKJV | 6:31 | Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? | |
Matt | AKJV | 6:32 | (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knows that you have need of all these things. | |
Matt | AKJV | 6:33 | But seek you first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added to you. | |
