Bible. New Testament
8 [6:16]And when you fast, be not like the hypocrites, of a sad
countenance; for they disfigure their faces that they may appear to men
to fast. I tell you truly, they have their reward. [6:17]But when you
fast, anoint your head, and wash your face, [6:18]that you may not
appear to men to fast, but to your Father in secret; and your Father
who sees in secret shall reward you.
9 [6:19]Lay not up for yourselves treasures on the earth, where a moth
and corrosion destroy, and where thieves dig through and steal.
[6:20]But lay up treasures for yourselves in heaven, where neither a
moth nor corrosion destroys, and where thieves dig not through nor
steal; [6:21]for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
10 [6:22]The light of the body is the eye. If, therefore, your eye is
sound, your whole body will be light; [6:23]but if your eye is evil,
your whole body will be dark. If, therefore, the light which is in you
is darkness, how great is the darkness! [6:24]No one can serve two
masters; for either he will hate the first, and love the other, or he
will adhere to the first, and despise the other. You cannot serve God
and riches. [6:25]On this account I tell you, be not anxious for your
soul, what you shall eat, or what you shall drink; nor for your body,
what you shall put on, is not the soul more than food, and the body
more than clothing? [6:26]Look at the birds of heaven; they sow not,
neither do they reap, nor gather into store-houses; but your heavenly
Father feeds them. Are you not much better than they? [6:27]Which of
you by being anxious can add one cubit to his stature? [6:28]And why
are you anxious concerning clothing? Consider the lilies of the field,
how they grow; they perform no hard labor, neither do they spin;
[6:29]but I tell you that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like
one of these. [6:30]And if God so clothes the grass of the field,
which to-day is, and to-morrow is cast into the oven, will he not much
more clothe you, men of little faith? [6:31]Be not anxious, therefore,
saying, What shall we eat? or what shall we drink? or with what shall
we be clothed? [6:32]For after all these things the gentiles seek; and
your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. [6:33]But
seek first righteousness and his kingdom, and all these things shall be
added to you. [6:34]Be not anxious, therefore, for to-morrow, for
to-morrow will be anxious for its; sufficient for the day is its evil.
