Berean Standard Bible
Take
heed
that
ye
do
not your righteousness
before men ,
to be seen of
them :
else
ye
have no reward with
your Father who
is
in heaven.
“Be
careful
not to
perform
your righteous
acts
before men to be seen by
them .
If
you
do,
you
will
have no reward from
your Father in heaven.
When therefore
thou
doest
alms
, sound
not a trumpet before thee
, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in
the streets, that
they
may
have
glory
of
men. Verily
I say
unto
you, They have received
their reward.
So
when you
give
to
the
needy
, do
not sound
a trumpet before you
, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on
the streets, to
be
honored
by
men. Truly
I tell
you, they already
have their full
reward.
But when thou
doest
alms
, let
not thy
left hand know what thy
right hand doeth:
But when you
give
to
the
needy
, do
not let
your
left hand know what your
right hand is
doing,
that thine
alms
may be in secret :
and thy
Father who seeth
in secret shall
recompense
thee
.
so
that your
giving
may be in secret .
And your
Father ,
who sees
what
is
done
in secret ,
will
reward
you
.
And when ye
pray, ye
shall
not be as
the hypocrites :
for they love to stand
and
pray in the synagogues and in
the corners of
the
streets,
that
they
may
be seen of
men. Verily
I say
unto
you, They have received
their reward.
And when you
pray, do
not be like
the hypocrites .
For they love to pray standing
in the synagogues and on
the street
corners to
be seen by
men. Truly
I tell
you, they already
have their full
reward.
But thou,
when thou
prayest
, enter
into thine
inner chamber
, and
having
shut thy
door, pray to thy
Father who is in
secret,
and thy
Father who seeth
in secret shall
recompense
thee
.
But when you
pray
, go
into your
inner room
, shut your
door, and
pray to your
Father ,
who is unseen.
And your
Father ,
who sees
what
is
done
in secret ,
will
reward
you
.
And in
praying
use
not
vain
repetitions
, as
the
Gentiles
do :
for they think that they shall
be heard for
their
much
speaking
.
And when
you
pray
, do not
babble
on
like
pagans,
for they think that by
their
many
words
they will
be heard.
Be
not therefore
like unto
them :
for your Father knoweth
what things
ye
have
need of,
before ye
ask him.
Do
not be
like them ,
for your Father knows
what you
need before you
ask Him.
After
this manner
therefore
pray ye.
Our Father who
art
in heaven, Hallowed be thy
name.
So
then,
this is
how
you
should
pray :
‘
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your
name.
Thy
kingdom come .
Thy
will be done, as in heaven ,
so
on
earth
.
Your
kingdom come ,
Your
will be done, on
earth
as it
is
in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.
And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.
And bring
us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil `
one. '
And lead
us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. ’
For if ye
forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
For if you
forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
But if ye
forgive
not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your
trespasses
.
But if you
do
not forgive
men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive yours
.
Moreover
when ye
fast, be
not ,
as
the hypocrites, of
a
sad
countenance:
for they disfigure their faces ,
that
they
may
be
seen
of
men
to fast
. Verily
I say
unto
you, They have received
their reward.
When you
fast, do
not be
somber
like
the hypocrites, for they disfigure their faces to show
men
they
are
fasting
. Truly
I tell
you, they already
have their full
reward.
But thou,
when thou
fastest
, anoint thy
head ,
and wash thy
face ;
But when you
fast
, anoint your
head and wash your
face ,
that thou
be
not seen
of
men
to fast
, but of
thy
Father who is in
secret:
and thy
Father, who seeth
in secret, shall
recompense
thee
.
so
that your
fasting
will
not be
obvious
to men
, but only
to
your
Father ,
who is unseen.
And your
Father, who sees
what
is
done
in secret, will
reward
you
.
Lay
not up for yourselves treasures upon
the
earth, where moth and rust consume
, and where thieves break through
and steal :
Do
not store
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 doth
consume
, and where thieves do not break through
nor
steal :
But store
up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and
rust do
not
destroy
, and where thieves do not break in
and
steal .
for where thy
treasure is, there will
thy
heart be also.
For where your
treasure is, there your
heart will
be also.
The lamp of the body is
the
eye:
if therefore
thine
eye
be
single
, thy
whole body shall
be full of light.
The eye
is
the
lamp of the body .
If your
eyes
are
good
, your
whole body will
be full of light.
But if thine
eye
be
evil
, thy
whole body shall
be full of darkness. If therefore
the light that
is in
thee
be
darkness, how great is the
darkness!
But if your
eyes
are
bad
, your
whole body will
be full of darkness. If then
the light within
you
is darkness, how great is that
darkness!
No man
can serve two masters ;
for
either he will hate the one ,
and love the other ;
or else
he will hold
to one ,
and despise the other. Ye
cannot serve God and mammon
.
No one
can serve two masters :
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 both
God and money
.
Therefore I say
unto
you, be
not anxious
for
your life, what ye
shall
eat ,
or what
ye
shall
drink; nor
yet
for
your body, what ye
shall
put
on
. Is not the
life more than the
food, and the body than the
raiment
?
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
?
Behold
the birds of the heaven,
that
they sow
not,
neither
do they
reap ,
nor
gather into barns ;
and your heavenly Father feedeth
them. Are not ye
of
much more value
then
they?
Look
at
the birds of the air:
They do not
sow
or
reap or
gather into barns —
and yet
your heavenly Father feeds
them. Are you
not much more valuable
than
they?
And
which
of you by being
anxious
can add one
cubit
unto
the
measure
of
his life?
Who
of you by worrying
can add a
single
hour
to
his life?
And why are
ye
anxious
concerning
raiment
? Consider the lilies of the field ,
how
they
grow ;
they toil
not,
neither
do they
spin :
And why do
you
worry
about
clothes
? Consider how
the lilies of the field grow :
They do not
labor
or
spin .
yet I say
unto
you ,
that even Solomon in all his glory was not
arrayed
like one of these.
Yet I tell
you that not
even Solomon in all his glory was adorned
like one of these.
But
if God doth
so
clothe
the grass of the field, which to-day
is ,
and to-morrow
is cast
into the oven
, `shall
he '
not much more `
clothe '
you, O ye
of little faith?
If that
is
how
God clothes
the grass of the field, which is here
today
and tomorrow
is thrown
into the furnace
, will
He not much more clothe you, O you
of little faith?
Be
not
therefore anxious
, saying, What shall we eat? or ,
What shall we drink? or ,
Wherewithal
shall we be
clothed
?
Therefore do
not
worry
, saying, ‘
What shall we eat? ’
or ‘
What shall we drink? ’
or ‘What
shall we wear
? ’
For after all these things do
the
Gentiles
seek;
for
your heavenly Father knoweth
that ye
have
need of
all
these
things
.
For the
Gentiles
strive
after all these things ,
and
your heavenly Father knows
that you
need them
.
But seek ye
first his
kingdom ,
and his righteousness ;
and all these things shall
be added unto you.
But seek first the
kingdom of
God
and His righteousness ,
and all these things will
be added unto you.
Be
not
therefore anxious
for
the
morrow:
for the
morrow
will be
anxious
for
itself. Sufficient
unto
the
day
is
the
evil
thereof
.
Therefore do
not
worry
about
tomorrow,
for tomorrow
will worry
about
itself. Today
has
enough
trouble
of
its
own
.
