Matthew 6
King James Version
6 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.
2 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.
3 But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:
4 That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.
5 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.
6 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.
7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
10 Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
11 Give us this day our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
13 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.
14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:
15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
16 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.
17 But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face;
18 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.
19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!
24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?
28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
Mateo 6
Biblia del Jubileo
6 ¶ Mirad que no hagáis vuestra limosna {lit. actos de misericordia} delante de los hombres, para ser vistos de ellos; de otra manera no tendréis salario acerca de vuestro Padre que está en los cielos.
2 Cuando, pues, des limosna, no hagas tocar trompeta delante de ti, como hacen los hipócritas en las sinagogas y en las plazas, para tener gloria de los hombres; de cierto os digo, que ya tienen su recompensa.
3 Mas cuando tú des limosna, no sepa tu izquierda lo que hace tu derecha;
4 para que sea tu limosna en secreto; y tu Padre que ve en secreto, él te pagará en público.
5 ¶ Y cuando ores, no seas como los hipócritas; porque ellos aman el orar en las sinagogas, y en las esquinas de las calles en pie, para ser vistos de los hombres; de cierto os digo, que ya tienen su salario.
6 Mas tú, cuando ores, entra en tu cámara, y cerrada tu puerta, ora a tu Padre que está en secreto; y tu Padre que ve en secreto, te pagará en público.
7 Y orando, no seáis prolijos, como los mundanos que piensan que por su palabrería serán oídos.
8 No os hagáis, pues, semejantes a ellos; porque vuestro Padre sabe de qué cosas tenéis necesidad, antes que vosotros le pidáis.
9 ¶ Vosotros pues, oraréis así: Padre nuestro que estás en los cielos, santificado sea tu Nombre.
10 Venga tu Reino. Sea hecha tu voluntad, como en el cielo, así también en la tierra.
11 Danos hoy nuestro pan cotidiano.
12 Y suéltanos nuestras deudas, como también nosotros soltamos a nuestros deudores.
13 Y no nos metas en tentación, mas líbranos del mal; porque tuyo es el Reino, y la potencia, y la gloria, por todos los siglos. Amén.
14 Porque si soltareis a los hombres sus ofensas, os soltará también a vosotros vuestro Padre celestial.
15 Mas si no soltareis a los hombres sus ofensas, tampoco vuestro Padre os soltará vuestras ofensas.
16 ¶ Y cuando ayunéis, no seáis como los hipócritas, austeros; porque ellos demudan sus rostros para parecer a los hombres que ayunan; de cierto os digo, que ya tienen su pago.
17 Mas tú, cuando ayunes, unge tu cabeza y lava tu rostro;
18 para no mostrar a los hombres que ayunas, sino a tu Padre que está en secreto; y tu Padre que ve en secreto, te pagará en público.
19 ¶ No os hagáis tesoros en la tierra, donde la polilla y el orín corrompen, y donde ladrones minan y hurtan;
20 sino haceos tesoros en el cielo, donde ni polilla ni orín corrompen, y donde ladrones no minan ni hurtan:
21 Porque donde estuviere vuestro tesoro, allí estará vuestro corazón.
22 La lámpara del cuerpo es el ojo; así que, si tu ojo fuere sincero, todo tu cuerpo será luminoso;
23 mas si tu ojo fuere malo, todo tu cuerpo será tenebroso. Así que, si la lumbre que hay en ti son tinieblas, ¡cuántas serán las mismas tinieblas!
24 Ninguno puede servir a dos señores; porque o aborrecerá al uno y amará al otro, o se llegará al uno y menospreciará al otro; no podéis servir a Dios y a las riquezas.
25 ¶ Por tanto os digo: No os acongojéis por vuestra vida, qué habéis de comer, o qué habéis de beber; ni por vuestro cuerpo, qué habéis de vestir: ¿no es la vida más que el alimento, y el cuerpo que el vestido?
26 Mirad las aves del cielo, que no siembran, ni siegan, ni recogen en alfolíes; y vuestro Padre celestial las alimenta. ¿No sois vosotros mucho mejores que ellas?
27 Mas ¿quién de vosotros podrá, acongojándose, añadir a su estatura un codo?
28 Y por el vestido ¿por qué os acongojáis? Aprended de los lirios del campo, cómo crecen; no trabajan ni hilan;
29 mas os digo, que ni aun Salomón con toda su gloria fue vestido así como uno de ellos.
30 Y si la hierba del campo que hoy es, y mañana es echada en el horno, Dios la viste así, ¿no hará mucho más a vosotros, hombres de poca fe?
31 No os acongojéis pues, diciendo: ¿Qué comeremos, o qué beberemos, o con qué nos cubriremos?
32 Porque los gentiles buscan todas estas cosas; pero vuestro Padre celestial sabe que de todas estas cosas tenéis necesidad.
33 Mas buscad primeramente el Reino de Dios y su justicia, y todas estas cosas os serán añadidas.
34 Así que, no os acongojéis por lo de mañana; que el mañana traerá su congoja: basta al día su aflicción.
Matthew 6
English Standard Version
Giving to the Needy
6 “Beware of (A)practicing your righteousness before other people in order (B)to be seen by them, for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven.
2 (C)“Thus, when you give to the needy, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may (D)be praised by others. Truly, I say to you, they have (E)received their reward. 3 But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 4 so that your giving may be in secret. (F)And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
The Lord's Prayer
5 “And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For they love (G)to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others. (H)Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. 6 But when you pray, (I)go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. (J)And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
7 “And when you pray, do not heap up empty phrases as (K)the Gentiles do, for (L)they think that they will be heard (M)for their many words. 8 Do not be like them, (N)for your Father knows what you need before you ask him. 9 (O)Pray then like this:
(P)“Our Father in heaven,
(Q)hallowed be (R)your name.[a]
10 (S)Your kingdom come,
(T)your will be done,[b]
(U)on earth as it is in heaven.
11 (V)Give us (W)this day our daily bread,[c]
12 and forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
13 And (X)lead us not into temptation,
but (Y)deliver us from (Z)evil.[d]
14 (AA)For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, 15 (AB)but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
Fasting
16 “And (AC)when you fast, do not look gloomy like the hypocrites, for they disfigure their faces that their fasting may be seen by others. (AD)Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. 17 But when you fast, (AE)anoint your head and wash your face, 18 that your fasting may not be seen by others but by your Father who is in secret. (AF)And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
Lay Up Treasures in Heaven
19 (AG)“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where (AH)moth and rust[e] destroy and where thieves (AI)break in and steal, 20 (AJ)but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
22 (AK)“The eye is the lamp of the body. So, if your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light, 23 (AL)but if (AM)your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!
24 (AN)“No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and (AO)money.[f]
Do Not Be Anxious
25 (AP)“Therefore I tell you, (AQ)do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? 26 (AR)Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. (AS)Are you not of more value than they? 27 And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his (AT)span of life?[g] 28 And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, 29 yet I tell you, (AU)even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30 But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, (AV)O you of little faith? 31 Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For (AW)the Gentiles seek after all these things, and (AX)your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. 33 But (AY)seek first (AZ)the kingdom of God and his righteousness, (BA)and all these things will be added to you.
34 (BB)“Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.
