1 Be careful not to do your charity before men in order to be seen by them, otherwise ye have no reward from your Father in the heavens.
2 When therefore thou do charity, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, so that they may have glory by men. Truly I say to you, they have their reward.
3 But when thou do charity, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand does,
4 so that thy charity may be in secret. And thy Father who sees in secret will himself reward thee in the open.
5 And when thou pray, thou shall not be as the hypocrites, because they love to pray having stood in the synagogues and in the corners of the thoroughfares, so that they may be seen by men. Truly I say to you, they have their reward.
6 But thou, when thou pray, enter into thy private room, and having shut thy door, pray to thy Father in secret, and thy Father who sees in secret will reward thee in the open.
7 And while praying do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do, for they think that they will be heard by their much speaking.
8 Be not therefore like them, for your Father knows what things ye have need of before ye ask him.
9 Pray ye therefore this way: Our Father in the heavens, hallowed be thy name.
10 May thy kingdom come. May thy will happen on the earth as also in heaven.
11 Give us this day the bread sufficient for us.
12 And forgive us our debts as we also forgive our debtors.
13 And bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, because from thee is the kingdom and the power and the glory into the ages. Truly.
14 For if ye forgive men their 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 And when ye fast, become not like the gloomy looking hypocrites, for they make their faces unsightly, so that they may appear fasting to men. Truly I say to you, they have their reward.
17 But when thou fast, anoint thy head, and wash thy face,
18 so that thou may not appear fasting to men, but to thy Father in secret. And thy Father, who sees in secret, will reward thee.
19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon the earth, where moth and rust deteriorates, and where thieves break through and steal,
20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust deteriorates, 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 is sound, thy whole body will be bright.
23 But if thine eye is bad, thy whole body will be dark. If therefore the light that is in thee is darkness, how great is the darkness!
24 No man can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one, and love the other, or he will hold to one, and disparage the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
25 Because of this I say to you, be not anxious about your life, what ye may eat, or what ye may drink, nor yet for your body, what ye may wear. Is not the life more than the food, and the body than the clothing?
26 Look to the birds of the sky, because they sow not, nor do they reap, nor gather into barns, and your heavenly Father feeds them. Are ye not more valuable then they?
27 And which man of you by being anxious can add one cubit to his life span?
28 And why are ye anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow. They toil not, nor do they spin,
29 yet I say to you, that not even Solomon in all his glory was arrayed like one of these.
30 And if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is cast into an oven, will he not much more you, O ye of little faith?
31 Be not therefore anxious, saying, What may we eat? or, What may we drink? or, What may we wear?
32 For the Gentiles seek after all these things, for your heavenly Father knows that ye need all these things.
33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
34 Be not therefore anxious for the morrow, for the morrow will be anxious about things of itself. Sufficient for the day is the evil of it.
1 Take hede to youre almes. That ye geve it not in the syght of men to the intent that ye wolde be sene of them. Or els ye get no rewarde of youre father which is in heve.
2 Whe soever therfore thou gevest thine almes thou shalt not make a tropet to be blowe before the as ye ypocrites do in the synagogis and in the stretis for to be preysed of men. Verely I say vnto you they have their rewarde.
3 But whe thou doest thine almes let not thy lyfte had knowe what thy righte had doth
4 yt thine almes may be secret: and thy father which seith in secret shall rewarde ye opely.
5 And when thou prayest thou shalt not be as ye ypocrytes are. For they love to stond and praye in the synagoges and in the corners of ye stretes because they wolde be sene of men. Verely I saye vnto you they haue their rewarde.
6 But when thou prayest entre into thy chamber and shut thy dore to the and praye to thy father which ys in secrete: and thy father which seith in secret shall rewarde the openly.
7 And whe ye praye bable not moche as the hethe do: for they thincke that they shalbe herde for their moche bablynges sake.
8 Be ye not lyke them therfore. For youre father knoweth wherof ye haue neade before ye axe of him.
9 After thys maner therfore praye ye. O oure father which arte in heve halowed be thy name.
10 Let thy kyngdome come. Thy wyll be fulfilled as well in erth as it ys in heven.
11 Geve vs this daye oure dayly breede.
12 And forgeve vs oure treaspases eve as we forgeve oure trespacers.
13 And leade vs not into teptacion: but delyver vs fro evell. For thyne is ye kyngedome and ye power and ye glorye for ever. Amen.
14 For and yf ye shall forgeve other men their treaspases youre hevenly father shall also forgeve you.
15 But and ye wyll not forgeve men their trespases nomore shall youre father forgeve youre treaspases.
16 Moreoure when ye faste be not sad as ye ypocrytes are. For they disfigure their faces that they myght be sene of me how they faste. Verely I say vnto you they have their rewarde.
17 But thou whe thou fastest annoynte thyne heed and washe thy face
18 that it appere not vnto men howe that thou fastest: but vnto thy father which is in secrete: and thy father which seeth in secret shall rewarde the openly.
19 Se that ye gaddre you not treasure vpon ye erth where rust and mothes corrupte and where theves breake through and steale.
20 But gaddre ye treasure togeder in heve where nether rust nor mothes corrupte and where theves nether breake vp nor yet steale.
21 For where soever youre treasure ys there will youre hertes be also.
22 The light of the body is thyne eye. Wher fore if thyne eye besyngle all thy body shalbe full of light.
23 But and if thyne eye be wycked then all thy body shalbe full of derckenes. Wherfore yf the light that is in the be darckenes: how greate is that darckenes.
24 No ma can serve two masters. For ether he shall hate the one and love the other: or els he shall lene to ye one and despise ye other: ye can not serve God and mammon.
25 Therfore I saye vnto you be not carefull for your lyfe what ye shall eate or what ye shall drincke nor yet for youre body what ye shall put on. ys not ye lyfe more worth then meate and the body more of value then raymeut?
26 Beholde the foules of ye ayer: for they sowe not nether reepe nor yet cary into ye barnes: and yet youre hevely father fedeth the. Are ye not moche better the they?
27 Which of you (though he toke thought therfore) coulde put one cubit vnto his stature?
28 And why care ye then for raymet? Considre ye lylies of ye felde how they growe. They labour not nether spynne.
29 And yet for all yt I saye vnto you yt eue Salomon in all his royalte was not arayed lyke vnto one of these.
30 Wherfore yf God so clothe the grasse which ys to daye in the felde and to morowe shalbe caste in to the fournace: shall he not moche more do the same vnto you o ye of lytle fayth?
31 Therfore take no thought sayinge: what shall we eate or what shall we drincke or wherwt shall we be clothed?
32 After all these thynges seke the getyls. For youre hevely father knoweth that ye have neade of all these thynges.
33 But rather seke ye fyrst the kyngdome of heuen and the rightwisnes therof and all these thynges shalbe ministred vnto you.
34 Care not then for the morow but let ye morow care for it selfe: for the daye present hath ever ynough of his awne trouble.
