Matthew 6

1 Christ continueth his sermon in the mount, speaking of alms, 5 prayer, 14 forgiving our brethren, 16 fasting, 19 where our treasure is to be laid up, 24 of serving God, and mammon, 25 exhorteth not to be careful for worldly things: 33 but to seek God's Kingdom.

 6:1 ¶ Take heed 4337 z5720 that ye do 4160 z5721 not 3361 your 5216 alms 1654 before 1715 men, 444 to be seen 2300 y4314 z5683 of them: 846 otherwise 1490 ye have 2192 z5719 no 3756 reward 3408 of 3844 your 5216 Father 3962 which 3588 is in 1722 heaven. 3772

 6:2 Therefore 3767 when 3752 thou doest 4160 z5725 [thine] alms, 1654 do y4537 z0 not 3361 sound a trumpet 4537 z5661 before 1715 thee, 4675 as 5618 the x3588 hypocrites 5273 do 4160 z5719 in 1722 the x3588 synagogues 4864 and 2532 in 1722 the x3588 streets, 4505 that 3704 they may have glory 1392 z5686 of 5259 men. 444 Verily 281 I say 3004 z5719 unto you, 5213 They have 568 z5719 their y846 x848 reward. 3408

 6:3 But 1161 when thou 4675 doest 4160 z5723 alms, 1654 let y1097 z0 not 3361 thy 4675 left hand 710 know 1097 z5628 what 5101 thy 4675 right hand 1188 doeth: 4160 z5719

 6:4 That 3704 thine 4675 alms 1654 may be 5600 z5753 in 1722 secret: 2927 and 2532 thy 4675 Father 3962 which y3588 seeth 991 z5723 in 1722 secret 2927 himself y846 x848 shall reward 591 z5692 thee 4671 openly. 1722 5318

 6:5 ¶ And 2532 when 3752 thou prayest, 4336 z5741 thou shalt y2071 z0 not 3756 be 2071 z5704 as 5618 the x3588 hypocrites 5273 [are]: for 3754 they love 5368 z5719 to pray 4336 z5738 standing 2476 z5761 in 1722 the x3588 synagogues 4864 and 2532 in 1722 the x3588 corners 1137 of the x3588 streets, 4113 that 3704 they may y302 be seen 5316 z5652 x302 of men. 444 Verily 281 I say 3004 z5719 unto you, 5213 y3754 They have 568 z5719 their y846 x848 reward. 3408

 6:6 But 1161 thou, 4771 when 3752 thou prayest, 4336 z5741 enter 1525 z5628 into 1519 thy 4675 closet, 5009 and 2532 when thou hast shut 2808 z5660 thy 4675 door, 2374 pray 4336 z5663 to thy 4675 Father 3962 which 3588 is in 1722 secret; 2927 and 2532 thy 4675 Father 3962 which y3588 seeth 991 z5723 in 1722 secret 2927 shall reward 591 z5692 thee 4671 openly. 1722 5318

 6:7 But 1161 when ye pray, 4336 z5740 use y945 z0 not y3361 vain repetitions, 945 z5661 x3361 as 5618 the x3588 heathen 1482 [do]: for 1063 they think 1380 z5719 that 3754 they shall be heard 1522 z5701 for 1722 their y846 x848 much speaking. 4180

 6:8 Be y3666 z0 not 3361 ye y3666 z0 therefore 3767 like y3666 z5686 unto x3666 them: 846 for 1063 your 5216 Father 3962 knoweth 1492 z5758 what things 3739 ye have 2192 z5719 need x5532 of, y5532 before y4253 ye 5209 ask 154 z5658 him. 846

 6:9 After this manner 3779 therefore 3767 pray 4336 z5737 ye: 5210 Our 2257 Father 3962 which 3588 art in 1722 heaven, 3772 Hallowed x37 be y37 z5682 thy 4675 name. 3686

 6:10 Thy 4675 kingdom 932 come. 2064 z5628 Thy 4675 will 2307 be done 1096 z5676 in 1909 earth, 1093 as 5613 y2532 [it is] in 1722 heaven. 3772

 6:11 Give 1325 z5628 us 2254 this day 4594 our 2257 daily 1967 bread. 740

 6:12 And 2532 forgive 863 z5628 us 2254 our 2257 debts, 3783 as 5613 y2532 we 2249 forgive 863 z5719 our 2257 debtors. 3781

 6:13 And 2532 lead 1533 z5661 us 2248 not 3361 into 1519 temptation, 3986 but 235 deliver 4506 z5663 us 2248 from 575 evil: 4190 For 3754 thine 4675 is 2076 z5748 the x3588 kingdom, 932 and 2532 the x3588 power, 1411 and 2532 the x3588 glory, 1391 for y1519 ever. 165 x1519 Amen. 281

 6:14 For 1063 if 1437 ye forgive 863 z5632 men 444 their 846 trespasses, 3900 your 5216 heavenly 3770 Father 3962 will also 2532 forgive 863 z5692 you: 5213

 6:15 But 1161 if y3362 z0 x1437 ye forgive 863 z5632 not y3362 x3361 men 444 their 846 trespasses, 3900 neither 3761 will your 5216 Father 3962 forgive 863 z5692 your 5216 trespasses. 3900

 6:16 ¶ Moreover 1161 when 3752 ye fast, 3522 z5725 be 1096 z5737 not, 3361 as 5618 the x3588 hypocrites, 5273 of a sad countenance: 4659 for 1063 they disfigure 853 z5719 their y846 x848 faces, 4383 that 3704 they may appear 5316 z5652 unto men 444 to fast. 3522 z5723 Verily 281 I say 3004 z5719 unto you, 5213 y3754 They have 568 z5719 their y846 x848 reward. 3408

 6:17 But 1161 thou, y4771 x4471 when thou fastest, 3522 z5723 anoint 218 z5669 thine 4675 head, 2776 and 2532 wash 3538 z5669 thy 4675 face; 4383

 6:18 That 3704 thou appear 5316 z5652 not 3361 unto men 444 to fast, 3522 z5723 but 235 unto thy 4675 Father 3962 which 3588 is in 1722 secret: 2927 and 2532 thy 4675 Father, 3962 which y3588 seeth 991 z5723 in 1722 secret, 2927 shall reward 591 z5692 thee 4671 openly. 1722 5318

 6:19 ¶ Lay y2343 z0 not y3361 up 2343 z5720 x3361 for yourselves 5213 treasures 2344 upon 1909 earth, 1093 where 3699 moth 4597 and 2532 rust 1035 doth corrupt, 853 z5719 and 2532 where 3699 thieves 2812 break through 1358 z5719 and 2532 steal: 2813 z5719

 6:20 But 1161 lay up 2343 z5720 for yourselves 5213 treasures 2344 in 1722 heaven, 3772 where 3699 neither 3777 moth 4597 nor 3777 rust 1035 doth corrupt, 853 z5719 and 2532 where 3699 thieves 2812 do y1358 z0 not 3756 break through 1358 z5719 nor 3761 steal: 2813 z5719

 6:21 For 1063 where 3699 your 5216 treasure 2344 is, 2076 z5748 there 1563 will y2071 z0 your 5216 heart 2588 be 2071 z5704 also. 2532

 6:22 The x3588 light 3088 of the x3588 body 4983 is 2076 z5748 the x3588 eye: 3788 if 1437 therefore 3767 thine 4675 eye 3788 be 5600 z5753 single, 573 thy 4675 whole 3650 body 4983 shall be 2071 z5704 full of light. 5460

 6:23 But 1161 if 1437 thine 4675 eye 3788 be 5600 z5753 evil, 4190 thy 4675 whole 3650 body 4983 shall be 2071 z5704 full of darkness. y4652 x1652 If 1487 therefore 3767 the x3588 light 5457 that x3588 is y2076 z5748 in 1722 thee 4671 be x2076 darkness, 4655 how great 4214 [is] that darkness! 4655

 6:24 ¶ No man 3762 can 1410 z5736 serve 1398 z5721 two 1417 masters: 2962 for 1063 either 2228 he will hate 3404 z5692 the x3588 one, 1520 and 2532 love 25 z5692 the x3588 other; 2087 or x2228 else y2228 he will hold 472 z5695 to the one, 1520 and 2532 despise 2706 z5692 the x3588 other. 2087 Ye cannot 3756 1410 z5736 serve 1398 z5721 God 2316 and 2532 mammon. 3126

 6:25 Therefore 1223 5124 I say 3004 z5719 unto you, 5213 Take no y3361 thought 3309 z5720 x3361 for your 5216 life, 5590 what 5101 ye shall eat, 5315 z5632 or 2532 what 5101 ye shall drink; 4095 z5632 nor yet x3366 for y3366 your 5216 body, 4983 what 5101 ye shall put on. 1746 z5672 Is 2076 z5748 not 3780 the x3588 life 5590 more x4119 than y4119 meat, 5160 and 2532 the x3588 body 4983 than raiment? 1742

 6:26 Behold 1689 1519 z5657 the x3588 fowls 4071 of the x3588 air: 3772 for 3754 they sow 4687 z5719 not, 3756 neither 3761 do they reap, 2325 z5719 nor 3761 gather 4863 z5719 into 1519 barns; 596 yet 2532 your 5216 heavenly 3770 Father 3962 feedeth 5142 z5719 them. 846 Are y1308 z0 ye y5210 not y3756 much y3123 better x1308 x5210 x3756 x3123 than y1308 z5719 they? 846

 6:27 1161 Which 5101 y1537 of x1537 you 5216 by taking thought 3309 z5723 can 1410 z5736 add 4369 z5629 one 1520 cubit 4083 unto 1909 his y846 x848 stature? 2244

 6:28 And 2532 why 5101 take ye thought 3309 z5720 for 4012 raiment? 1742 Consider 2648 z5628 the x3588 lilies 2918 of the x3588 field, 68 how 4459 they grow; 837 z5719 they toil 2872 z5719 not, 3756 neither 3761 do they spin: 3514 z5719

 6:29 And x1161 yet y1161 I say 3004 z5719 unto you, 5213 That 3754 even 3761 z0 Solomon 4672 in 1722 all 3956 his y846 x848 glory 1391 was y4016 z0 not y3761 arrayed 4016 z5639 like 5613 one 1520 of these. 5130

 6:30 Wherefore, 1161 if 1487 God 2316 so 3779 clothe 294 z5719 the x3588 grass 5528 of the x3588 field, 68 which to day 4594 is, 5607 z5752 and 2532 to morrow 839 is cast 906 z5746 into 1519 the oven, 2823 [shall he] not 3756 much 4183 more 3123 [clothe] you, 5209 O ye of little faith? 3640

 6:31 Therefore 3767 take no y3361 thought, 3309 z5661 x3361 saying, 3004 z5723 What 5101 shall we eat? 5315 z5632 or, 2228 What 5101 shall we drink? 4095 z5632 or, 2228 Wherewithal 5101 shall we be clothed? 4016 z5643

 6:32 (For 1063 after y1934 z0 all 3956 these things 5023 do the x3588 Gentiles 1484 seek:) 1934 z5719 for 1063 your 5216 heavenly 3770 Father 3962 knoweth 1492 z5758 that 3754 ye have need 5535 z5719 of all 537 these things. 5130

 6:33 But 1161 seek x2212 ye y2212 z5720 first 4412 the x3588 kingdom 932 of God, 2316 and 2532 his 846 righteousness; 1343 and 2532 all 3956 these things 5023 shall be added 4369 z5701 unto you. 5213

 6:34 Take y3309 z0 therefore y3767 no y3361 thought y3309 z5661 x3361 x1337 x846 for 1519 the x3588 morrow: 839 for 1063 the x3588 morrow 839 shall take thought 3309 z5692 for the things 3588 of itself. 1438 Sufficient 713 unto the x3588 day 2250 [is] the x3588 evil y2549 x2548 thereof. 846
