trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:
15
But if ye forgive not men their trespasses,
neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
16
Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure
their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
17
But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face;
18
That thou appear not unto
men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward
thee openly.
19
Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where
thieves break through and steal:
20
But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither
moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
21
For where your
treasure is, there will your heart be also.
22
The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye
be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
23
But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be
full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great
is
that darkness!
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. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
25
Therefore I say
unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your
body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
26
Behold
the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly
Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
27
Which of you by taking thought can add
one cubit unto his stature?
28
And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field,
how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
29
And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon
in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
30
Wherefore, 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
ye of little faith?
31
Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink?
or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
32
(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your
heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
33
But seek ye first the kingdom of
God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
34
Take therefore no
thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto
the day
is
the evil thereof.
CHAPTER 7
Judge not, that ye be not judged.
2
For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with
what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
3
And why beholdest thou the mote that
is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
4
Or how wilt thou
say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam
is
in thine own
