1 Adtendite ne iustitiam vestram faciatis coram hominibus
ut videamini ab eis
alioquin mercedem non habebitis apud Patrem vestrum qui in caelis est
2 cum ergo facies elemosynam noli tuba canere ante te
sicut hypocritae faciunt in synagogis et in vicis
ut honorificentur ab hominibus
amen dico vobis receperunt mercedem suam
3 te autem faciente elemosynam
nesciat sinistra tua quid faciat dextera tua
4 ut sit elemosyna tua in abscondito
et Pater tuus qui videt in abscondito reddet tibi
5 et cum oratis non eritis sicut hypocritae
qui amant in synagogis et in angulis platearum stantes orare
ut videantur ab hominibus
amen dico vobis receperunt mercedem suam
6 tu autem cum orabis intra in cubiculum tuum
et cluso ostio tuo
ora Patrem tuum in abscondito
et Pater tuus qui videt in abscondito reddet tibi
7 Orantes autem nolite multum loqui sicut ethnici
putant enim quia in multiloquio suo exaudiantur
8 nolite ergo adsimilari eis
scit enim Pater vester quibus opus sit vobis
antequam petatis eum
9 sic ergo vos orabitis
Pater noster qui in caelis es sanctificetur nomen
tuum
10 veniat regnum tuum
fiat voluntas tua sicut in caelo et in terra
11 panem nostrum supersubstantialem
da nobis hodie
12 et dimitte nobis debita nostra
sicut et nos dimisimus debitoribus nostris
13 et ne inducas nos in temptationem
sed libera nos a malo
14 Si enim dimiseritis hominibus peccata eorum
dimittet et vobis Pater vester caelestis delicta
vestra
15 si autem non dimiseritis hominibus
nec Pater vester dimittet peccata vestra
16 Cum autem ieiunatis nolite fieri sicut hypocritae tristes
demoliuntur enim facies suas
ut pareant hominibus ieiunantes
amen dico vobis quia receperunt mercedem suam
17 tu autem cum ieiunas ungue caput tuum et faciem tuam lava
18 ne videaris hominibus ieiunans
sed Patri tuo qui est in abscondito
et Pater tuus qui videt in abscondito reddet tibi
19 nolite thesaurizare vobis thesauros in terra
ubi erugo et tinea demolitur
ubi fures effodiunt et furantur
20 Thesaurizate autem vobis thesauros in caelo
ubi neque erugo neque tinea demolitur
et ubi fures non effodiunt nec furantur
21 ubi enim est thesaurus tuus ibi est et cor tuum
22 Lucerna corporis est oculus
si fuerit oculus tuus simplex
totum corpus tuum lucidum erit
23 si autem oculus tuus nequam fuerit
totum corpus tuum tenebrosum erit
si ergo lumen quod in te est tenebrae sunt
tenebrae quantae erunt
24 Nemo potest duobus dominis servire
aut enim unum odio habebit et alterum diliget
aut unum sustinebit et alterum contemnet
non potestis Deo servire et mamonae
25 Ideo dico vobis ne solliciti sitis animae vestrae quid manducetis
neque corpori vestro quid induamini
nonne anima plus est quam esca
et corpus plus est quam vestimentum
26 respicite volatilia caeli
quoniam non serunt neque metunt neque congregant in horrea
et Pater vester caelestis pascit illa
nonne vos magis pluris estis illis
27 quis autem vestrum cogitans potest adicere ad staturam suam cubitum unum
28 et de vestimento quid solliciti estis
considerate lilia agri quomodo crescunt
non laborant nec nent
29 dico autem vobis
quoniam nec Salomon in omni gloria sua coopertus est sicut unum ex istis
30 si autem faenum agri quod hodie est et cras in clibanum mittitur Deus
sic vestit
quanto magis vos minimae fidei
31 nolite ergo solliciti esse dicentes
quid manducabimus aut quid bibemus
aut quo operiemur
32 haec enim omnia gentes inquirunt
scit enim Pater vester quia his omnibus indigetis
33 quaerite autem primum regnum et iustitiam
eius
et omnia haec adicientur vobis
34 nolite ergo esse solliciti in crastinum
crastinus enim dies sollicitus erit sibi ipse
sufficit diei malitia sua
1 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.
