¹⁶ Your light must shine before people in such a way that they may ^(A)see your good works, and ^(B)glorify your Father who is in heaven.

⁴⁵ so that you may prove yourselves to be ^(A)sons of your Father who is in heaven; for He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.

Charitable Giving to the Poor and Prayer

6 “Take care not to practice your righteousness in the sight of people, ^(A)to be noticed by them; otherwise you have no reward with your Father who is in heaven.

⁴ so that your charitable giving will be in secret; and ^(A)your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you.

⁸ So do not be like them; for ^(A)your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.

The Lord’s Prayer

⁹ “^(A)Pray, then, in this way:

¹⁷ Every good thing given and every perfect gift is ^(A)from above, coming down from ^(B)the Father of lights, ^(C)with whom there is no variation or ^[a]shifting shadow.

1 ^(A)In the beginning was ^(B)the Word, and the Word was ^(C)with God, and ^(D)the Word was God.

²⁴ God is ^[a]spirit, and those who worship Him must worship ^(A)in spirit and truth.”

⁹ Jesus *said to him, “Have I been with ^[a]you for so long a time, and yet ^[b]you have not come to know Me, Philip? ^(A)The one who has seen Me has seen the Father; how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?
