5 [5:38]You have heard that it was said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth. [5:39]But I tell you not to resist the evil man; but whoever shall strike you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also; [5:40]and if a man wishes to have a law suit with you, and take away your coat, let him have your cloak also; [5:41]and whoever shall compel you to go one mile, go two miles with him. [5:42]Give to him that asks, and from him that would borrow of you turn not away. [5:43]You have heard that it was said, You shall love your neighbor, and hate your enemy. [5:44]But I tell you, Love your enemies, and pray for those that persecute you; [5:45]that you may be children of your Father in heaven; for he causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and rains on the just and unjust. [5:46]For if you love those that love you, what reward have you? Do not the publicans the same? [5:47]And if you salute your brothers only, what do you do more than [others]? Do not the gentiles also do the same? [5:48]Be therefore perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect. 6 [6:1]But take heed not to perform your righteousness before men, to be seen by them; otherwise indeed, you have no reward from your Father in heaven. [6:2] When, therefore, you give in charity, sound not a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do, in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be glorified by men. I tell you truly, they have their reward. [6:3]But when you give in charity let not your left hand know what your right hand does, [6:4]that your charity may be in secret; and your Father who sees in secret shall reward you. 7 [6:5]And when you pray, be not like the hypocrites; for they love to pray standing in the synagogues, and at the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. I tell you truly, they have their reward. [6:6]But when you pray enter into your private room, and having shut your door pray to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret shall reward you. [6:7]And when you pray use not vain repetitions, as the gentiles do; for they think they shall be heard for their much speaking. [6:8]Be not, therefore, like them; for your Father knows what you need before you ask him. [6:9]Pray, therefore, thus; Our Father in heaven, hallowed be thy name; [6:10]thy kingdom come; thy will be done, as in heaven, so on earth; [6:11]give us to-day our essential bread, [6:12]and forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors; [6:13]and bring us not into trial, but deliver us from evil. [6:14]For if you forgive men their offenses, your heavenly Father will forgive you; [6:15]but if you forgive not men, neither will your Father forgive your offenses.
