⁵ And when ye pray, you shall not be as the hypocrites, that love to stand and pray in the synagogues and corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men: Amen I say to you, they have received their reward.

⁶ But thou when thou shalt pray, enter into thy chamber, and having shut the door, pray to thy Father in secret: and thy Father who seeth in secret will repay thee.

⁷ And when you are praying, speak not much, as the heathens. For they think that in their much speaking they may be heard.

⁸ Be not you therefore like to them, for your Father knoweth what is needful for you, before you ask him.

⁹ Thus therefore shall you pray: Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.

¹⁰ Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

¹¹ Give us this day our supersubstantial bread.

¹² And forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors.

¹³ And lead us not into temptation. But deliver us from evil. Amen.

¹⁴ For if you will forgive men their offences, your heavenly Father will forgive you also your offences.

¹⁵ But if you will not forgive men, neither will your Father forgive you your offences.

¹⁶ And when you fast, be not as the hypocrites, sad. For they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Amen I say to you, they have received their reward.

¹⁷ But thou, when thou fastest anoint thy head, and wash thy face;

¹⁸ That thou appear not to men to fast, but to thy Father who is in secret: and thy Father who seeth in secret, will repay thee.

¹⁹ Lay not up to yourselves treasures on earth: where the rust, and moth consume, and where thieves break through and steal.

²⁰ But lay up to yourselves treasures in heaven: where neither the rust nor moth doth consume, and where thieves do not break through, nor steal.

²¹ For where thy treasure is, there is thy heart also.

²² The light of thy body is thy eye. If thy eye be single, thy whole body shall be lightsome.

²³ But if thy eye be evil thy whole body shall be darksome. If then the light that is in thee, be darkness: the darkness itself how great shall it be!

²⁴ No man can serve two masters. For either he will hate the one, and love the other: or he will sustain the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.

²⁵ Therefore I say to you, be not solicitous for your life, what you shall eat, nor for your body, what you shall put on. Is not the life more than the meat: and the body more than the raiment?

²⁶ Behold the birds of the air, for they neither sow, nor do they reap, nor gather into barns: and your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are not you of much more value than they?

²⁷ And which of you by taking thought, can add to his stature by one cubit?

²⁸ And for raiment why are you solicitous? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they labour not, neither do they spin.

²⁹ But I say to you, that not even Solomon in all his glory was arrayed as one of these.

³⁰ And if the grass of the field, which is to day, and to morrow is cast into the oven, God doth so clothe: how much more you, O ye of little faith?

³¹ Be not solicitous therefore, saying, What shall we eat: or what shall we drink, or wherewith shall we be clothed?

³² For after all these things do the heathens seek. For your Father knoweth that you have need of all these things.

³³ Seek ye therefore first the kingdom of God, and his justice, and all these things shall be added unto you.

³⁴ Be not therefore solicitous for to morrow; for the morrow will be solicitous for itself. Sufficient for the day is the evil thereof.

7 Judge not, that you may not be judged,

² For with what judgment you judge, you shall be judged: and with what measure you mete, it shall be measured to you again.

³ And why seest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye; and seest not the beam that is in thy own eye?

⁴ Or how sayest thou to thy brother: Let me cast the mote out of thy eye; and behold a beam is in thy own eye?

⁵ Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam in thy own eye, and then shalt thou see to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

⁶ Give not that which is holy to dogs; neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest perhaps they trample them under their feet, and turning upon you, they tear you.

³⁷ Judge not, and you shall not be judged. Condemn not, and you shall not be condemned. Forgive, and you shall be forgiven.

³⁸ Give, and it shall be given to you: good measure and pressed down and shaken together and running over shall they give into your bosom. For with the same measure that you shall mete withal, it shall be measured to you again.

³⁹ And he spoke also to them a similitude: Can the blind lead the blind? do they not both fall into the ditch?

⁴⁰ The disciple is not above his master: but every one shall be perfect, if he be as his master.

⁴¹ And why seest thou the mote in thy brother's eye: but the beam that is in thy own eye thou considerest not?

⁴² Or how canst thou say to thy brother: Brother, let me pull the mote out of thy eye, when thou thyself seest not the beam in thy own eye? Hypocrite, cast first the beam out of thy own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to take out the mote from thy brother's eye.

⁷ Ask, and it shall be given you: seek, and you shall find: knock, and it shall be opened to you.

⁸ For every one that asketh, receiveth: and he that seeketh, findeth: and to him that knocketh, it shall be opened.

⁹ Or what man is there among you, of whom if his son shall ask bread, will he reach him a stone?

¹⁰ Or if he shall ask him a fish, will he reach him a serpent?

¹¹ If you then being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children: how much more will your Father who is in heaven, give good things to them that ask him?

¹² All things therefore whatsoever you would that men should do to you, do you also to them. For this is the law and the prophets.

¹³ Enter ye in at the narrow gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way that leadeth to destruction, and many there are who go in thereat.

¹⁴ How narrow is the gate, and strait is the way that leadeth to life: and few there are that find it!

¹⁵ Beware of false prophets, who come to you in the clothing of sheep, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

¹⁶ By their fruits you shall know them. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

¹⁷ Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit, and the evil tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

¹⁸ A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can an evil tree bring forth good fruit.

¹⁹ Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit, shall be cut down, and shall be cast into the fire.

²⁰ Wherefore by their fruits you shall know them.

⁴³ For there is no good tree that bringeth forth evil fruit; nor an evil tree that bringeth forth good fruit.

⁴⁴ For every tree is known by its fruit. For men do not gather figs from thorns; nor from a bramble bush do they gather the grape.

⁴⁵ A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth that which is evil. For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.

²¹ Not every one that saith to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven: but he that doth the will of my Father who is in heaven, he shall enter into the kingdom of heaven.

²² Many will say to me in that day: Lord, Lord, have not we prophesied in thy name, and cast out devils in thy name, and done many miracles in thy name?

²³ And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, you that work iniquity.

²⁴ Every one therefore that heareth these my words, and doth them, shall be likened to a wise man that built his house upon a rock,

²⁵ And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and they beat upon that house, and it fell not, for it was founded on a rock.

²⁶ And every one that heareth these my words, and doth them not, shall be like a foolish man that built his house upon the sand,

²⁷ And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and they beat upon that house, and it fell, and great was the fall thereof.

²⁸ And it came to pass when Jesus had fully ended these words, the people were in admiration at his doctrine.

²⁹ For he was teaching them as one having power, and not as the scribes and Pharisees.

⁴⁶ And why call you me, Lord, Lord; and do not the things which I say?

⁴⁷ Every one that cometh to me, and heareth my words, and doth them, I will shew you to whom he is like.

⁴⁸ He is like to a man building a house, who digged deep, and laid the foundation upon a rock. And when a flood came, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and it could not shake it; for it was founded on a rock.

⁴⁹ But he that heareth, and doth not, is like to a man building his house upon the earth without a foundation: against which the stream beat vehemently, and immediately it fell, and the ruin of that house was great.
