马太福音 6
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
施舍不可张扬
6 “你们小心，不要在众人面前行你们的义，让他们看见；如果这样，就得不到你们天父的赏赐。 2 因此你施舍的时候，不可到处张扬，好象伪君子在会堂和街上所作的一样，以博取众人的称赞。我实在告诉你们，他们已经得了他们的赏赐。 3 你施舍的时候，不要让左手知道右手所作的， 4 好使你的施舍是在隐密中行的。你父在隐密中察看，必定报答你。
如何祷告(A)
5 “你们祈祷的时候，不可像伪君子；他们喜欢在会堂和路口站着祈祷，好让人看见。我实在告诉你们，他们已经得了他们的赏赐。 6 但你祈祷的时候，要进到密室里去，关上门，向在隐密中的父祈祷。你父在隐密中察看，必定报答你。 7 你们祈祷的时候，不可重复无意义的话，像教外人一样，他们以为话多了就蒙垂听。 8 你们不可像他们，因为在你们祈求以先，你们的父已经知道你们的需要了。 9 所以你们要这样祈祷：
‘我们在天上的父，
愿你的名被尊为圣，
10 愿你的国降临，
愿你的旨意成就在地上，
如同在天上一样。
11 我们每天所需的食物，
求你今天赐给我们；
12 赦免我们的罪债，
好象我们饶恕了得罪我们的人；
13 不要让我们陷入试探，
救我们脱离那恶者。’（有些后期抄本在此有“因为国度、权柄、荣耀，全是你的，直到永远。阿们”一句）
14 如果你们饶恕别人的过犯，你们的天父也必饶恕你们。 15 如果你们不饶恕别人，你们的父也必不饶恕你们的过犯。
禁食不让人知
16 “你们禁食的时候，不可像伪君子那样愁眉苦脸，他们装成难看的样子，叫人看出他们在禁食。我实在告诉你们，他们已经得了他们的赏赐。 17 可是你禁食的时候，要梳头洗脸， 18 不要叫人看出你在禁食，只让在隐密中的父看见。你父在隐密中察看，必定报答你。
积财于天(B)
19 “不可为自己在地上积聚财宝，因为地上有虫蛀，有锈侵蚀，也有贼挖洞来偷。 20 要为自己积聚财宝在天上，那里没有虫蛀锈蚀，也没有贼挖洞来偷。 21 你的财宝在哪里，你的心也在哪里。
里面的光(C)
22 “眼睛就是身体的灯。如果你的眼睛健全，全身就都明亮； 23 如果你的眼睛有毛病，全身就都黑暗。如果你里面的光变成黑暗，这是多么的黑暗！
不要为明天忧虑(D)
24 “一个人不能服事两个主人；他若不是恨这个爱那个，就是忠于这个轻视那个。你们不能服事 神，又服事金钱（“金钱”亚兰文是“玛门”）。 25 所以我告诉你们，不要为生命忧虑吃甚么喝甚么，也不要为身体忧虑穿甚么。难道生命不比食物重要吗？身体不比衣服重要吗？ 26 你们看天空的飞鸟：牠们不撒种，不收割，也不收进仓里，你们的天父尚且养活牠们；难道你们不比牠们更宝贵吗？ 27 你们中间谁能用忧虑使自己的寿命延长一刻呢？ 28 何必为衣服忧虑呢？试想田野的百合花怎样生长，它们不劳苦，也不纺织。 29 但我告诉你们，就是所罗门最威荣的时候所穿的，也比不上这花中的一朵。 30 田野的草，今天还在，明天就投进炉里， 神尚且这样妆扮它们；小信的人哪，何况你们呢？ 31 所以不要忧虑，说：‘我们该吃甚么？喝甚么？穿甚么？’ 32 这些都是教外人所寻求的，你们的天父原知道你们需要这一切。 33 你们要先求他的国和他的义，这一切都必加给你们。 34 所以不要为明天忧虑，因为明天自有明天的忧虑，一天的难处一天当就够了。”
Matthew 6

Teaching about Charity
6 (A)“Make certain you do not perform your religious duties in public so that people will see what you do. If you do these things publicly, you will not have any reward from your Father in heaven.
2 “So when you give something to a needy person, do not make a big show of it, as the hypocrites do in the houses of worship and on the streets. They do it so that people will praise them. I assure you, they have already been paid in full. 3 But when you help a needy person, do it in such a way that even your closest friend will not know about it. 4 Then it will be a private matter. And your Father, who sees what you do in private, will reward you.
Teaching about Prayer(B)
5 (C)“When you pray, do not be like the hypocrites! They love to stand up and pray in the houses of worship and on the street corners, so that everyone will see them. I assure you, they have already been paid in full. 6 But when you pray, go to your room, close the door, and pray to your Father, who is unseen. And your Father, who sees what you do in private, will reward you.
7 (D)“When you pray, do not use a lot of meaningless words, as the pagans do, who think that their gods will hear them because their prayers are long. 8 Do not be like them. Your Father already knows what you need before you ask him. 9 This, then, is how you should pray:
‘Our Father in heaven:
May your holy name be honored;
10 may your Kingdom come;
may your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
11 Give us today the food we need.[a]
12 Forgive us the wrongs we have done,
as we forgive the wrongs that others have done to us.
13 Do not bring us to hard testing,
but keep us safe from the Evil One.’[b]
14 (E)“If you forgive others the wrongs they have done to you, your Father in heaven will also forgive you. 15 But if you do not forgive others, then your Father will not forgive the wrongs you have done.
Teaching about Fasting
16 “And when you fast, do not put on a sad face as the hypocrites do. They neglect their appearance so that everyone will see that they are fasting. I assure you, they have already been paid in full. 17 (F)When you go without food, wash your face and comb your hair, 18 so that others cannot know that you are fasting—only your Father, who is unseen, will know. And your Father, who sees what you do in private, will reward you.
Riches in Heaven(G)
19 (H)“Do not store up riches for yourselves here on earth, where moths and rust destroy, and robbers break in and steal. 20 (I)Instead, store up riches for yourselves in heaven, where moths and rust cannot destroy, and robbers cannot break in and steal. 21 For your heart will always be where your riches are.
The Light of the Body(J)
22 “The eyes are like a lamp for the body. If your eyes are sound, your whole body will be full of light; 23 but if your eyes are no good, your body will be in darkness. So if the light in you is darkness, how terribly dark it will be!
God and Possessions(K)
24 “You cannot be a slave of two masters; you will hate one and love the other; you will be loyal to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.
25 “This is why I tell you: do not be worried about the food and drink you need in order to stay alive, or about clothes for your body. After all, isn't life worth more than food? And isn't the body worth more than clothes? 26 Look at the birds: they do not plant seeds, gather a harvest and put it in barns; yet your Father in heaven takes care of them! Aren't you worth much more than birds? 27 Can any of you live a bit longer[c] by worrying about it?
28 “And why worry about clothes? Look how the wild flowers grow: they do not work or make clothes for themselves. 29 (L)But I tell you that not even King Solomon with all his wealth had clothes as beautiful as one of these flowers. 30 It is God who clothes the wild grass—grass that is here today and gone tomorrow, burned up in the oven. Won't he be all the more sure to clothe you? What little faith you have!
31 “So do not start worrying: ‘Where will my food come from? or my drink? or my clothes?’ 32 (These are the things the pagans are always concerned about.) Your Father in heaven knows that you need all these things. 33 Instead, be concerned above everything else with the Kingdom of God and with what he requires of you, and he will provide you with all these other things. 34 So do not worry about tomorrow; it will have enough worries of its own. There is no need to add to the troubles each day brings.
