Bible. Matthew
40:005:046 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do
not even the publicans the same?
40:005:047 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than
others? do not even the publicans so?
40:005:048 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in
heaven is perfect.
40:006:001 Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of
them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in
heaven.
40:006:002 Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound 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 their reward.
40:006:003 But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy
right hand doeth:
40:006:004 That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth
in secret himself shall reward thee openly.
40:006:005 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites
are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in
the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men.
Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
40:006:006 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when
thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in
secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee
openly.
40:006:007 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do:
for they think that they shall be heard for their much
speaking.
40:006:008 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth
what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
40:006:009 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in
heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
40:006:010 Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in
heaven.
40:006:011 Give us this day our daily bread.
40:006:012 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
40:006:013 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For
thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever.
Amen.
40:006:014 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father
will also forgive you:
40:006:015 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your
Father forgive your trespasses.
40:006:016 Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad
countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may
appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have
their reward.
40:006:017 But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy
face;
40:006:018 That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father
which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret,
shall reward thee openly.
