- All you need to say is simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything beyond this comes from the evil one.
- But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.
- Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
- So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full.
- 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. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
- But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
- And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words.
- This, then, is how you should pray:
‘Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.’ - Give us today 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 the evil one. - For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
- But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.
- When you fast, do not look somber as the hypocrites do, for they disfigure their faces to show others they are fasting. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full.
- But when you fast, put oil on your head and wash your face, so that it will not be obvious to others that you are fasting, but only to your Father, who is unseen; and your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
- Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, 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. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.
- Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?
- Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?
- But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
- Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
- Do not judge, or you too will be judged.
- Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?
- Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.
So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.Come back to your senses as you ought, and stop sinning; for there are some who are ignorant of God—I say this to your shame.
