- Let what you say be simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything more than this comes from evil.
- But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.
- You therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
- Thus, when you give to the needy, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be praised by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward.
- But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
- But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
- And when you pray, do not heap up empty phrases as the Gentiles do, for they think that they will be heard for their many words.
- Pray then like this:
“Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name.
Your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.” - Give us this day our daily bread.
- And forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors. - And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil. - For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
- But if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
- And when you fast, do not look gloomy like the hypocrites, for they disfigure their faces that their fasting may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward.
- But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, that your fasting may not be seen by others but by your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
- Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal.
- For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
- No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.
- Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?
- Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?
- But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
- Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.
- Judge not, that you be not judged.
- Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?
- Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.
