- But as for you, when you pray, go into your inner room, close your door, and pray to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you.
- And when you are praying, do not use thoughtless repetition as the Gentiles do, for they think that they will be heard because of their many words.
- Pray, then, in this way:
‘Our Father, who is 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 do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
- For if you forgive other people for their offenses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
- But if you do not forgive other people, then your Father will not forgive your offenses.
- Now whenever you fast, do not make a gloomy face as the hypocrites do, for they distort their faces so that they will be noticed by people when they are fasting. Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full.
- But as for you, when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, so that your fasting will not be noticed by people but by your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you.
- Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or 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 one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth.
- For this reason I say to you, do not be worried about your life, as to what you will eat or what you will drink; nor for your body, as to what you will put on. Is life not more than food, and the body more than clothing?
- Look at the birds of the sky, that they do not sow, nor reap, nor gather crops into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more important than they?
- But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be provided to you.
- So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
- Do not judge, so that you will not be judged.
- Why do you look at 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.
- In everything, therefore, treat people the same way you want them to treat you, for this is the Law and the Prophets.
- Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it. For the gate is narrow and the way is constricted that leads to life, and there are few who find it.
- Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves.
- Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter.
- Therefore, everyone who hears these words of Mine, and acts on them, will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock.
