Matthew 6
6
1“Beware lest you do your charitable deeds before men that they might praise you; if you do, you will have no reward from your Father Who is in heaven”.
2Again Yeshua [God is Salvation] said to them: “When you do charitable deeds do not wish to make a proclamation or blow trumpets before you as the hypocrites, who do their charitable deeds in the market places and in the streets in order that men might see them. Truly I say to you, they have received their reward already”.
3“But when you do charitable deeds, let not your left hand know what your right hand is doing”,
4“in order that your gift might be in secret and your Father Who sees hidden things will reward you”.
5At that time Yeshua [God is Salvation] said to his disciples: “When you pray do not raise your voice and do not be like the sad hypocrites who love to pray in the synagogues and in the corner of the courtyards and pray with arrogant (proud; lifted up) speech that men might hear and praise them. Truly I say to you, they have received their reward already”.
6“But when you pray, go to your bedroom, close your doors upon you, and pray to your Father in secret, and your Father who sees in secret will reward you”.
7“So when you pray, do not multiply words as the heretics who think that by their multitude of words they will make themselves heard”
8“Do not be like them. Your Father Who is in heaven knows your words before you ask from Him?”
9“But thus you shall pray: Our Father, Who art (you - one person - are) in heaven, may Your Name be acknowledged as Holy;”
10“may Your Kingdom be Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous); may Your will be done in heaven and on earth”.
11“Give us our bread continually”.
12“Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us,
13“and do not allow us into the power of temptation but keep us from all evil. Amen”.
14“If you forgive men their sins your Father Who is in heaven will forgive your sins”
15“But if you do not forgive them He will not forgive you your sins”
16Again he said to them: “When you fast do not be as the sad hypocrites who make themselves appear sad and who change their faces, to show their fasting before men; truly I say to you, they have already received their reward”.
17“But when you fast, wash your heads”.
18“that you might not appear to men to be fasting, but to your Father Who is in secret, and your Father Who is in secret will reward you”.
19Again he said to them: “Do not keep on heaping up treasures on earth so that decay and grub devour it or thieves dig through and steal them”
20“Make for yourselves treasures in heaven where the worm and the grub do not devour them and where thieves do not dig through and steal”.
21“In the place where your treasure is there will be your heart”.
22“The lamp of your body is your eyes. If your eyes look straight ahead your body shall not be dark”.
23“If your eyes grow dim your whole body will become dark; and if the light which is in you becomes dark, all your ways will be dark”.
24At that time Yeshua [God is Salvation] said to his disciples: “No one is able to serve two masters except he who hates the one and loves the other, or he honors the one and despises the other; you cannot serve The Mighty One and the world”.
25“Therefore I say to you: “Do not be anxious for the food for your souls nor for the clothing for your body, because the soul is more precious than food and the body than clothing.”
26“Behold the birds of the sky which sow not nor reap nor gather into barns, but your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not more precious than they?”
27“Who among you, of those who are anxious, is able to add to his height one cubit?”
28“If this is the case, why are you anxious for clothes? Behold the lilies of Sharon in growing they neither spin nor weave”.
29“But I say to you that King Solomon, in all his glory, was not clothed like these”.
30“If The Mighty One clothes the straw which is left in the standing grain, which is fresh today and tomorrow is dried up and is placed into the oven, so much the more will He clothe you who are little of faith”
31“If the Mighty One so thinks of you, do not be anxious saying what shall we eat and what shall we drink?”
32“because all these things the bodies seek. But your Father Who is in heaven knows that you need all these things”.
33“Seek first the Kingdom of Elohim (The Many Powered) [The Living Word of God] and His Righteousness and all these things will be given to you.
34“Do not be anxious for tomorrow because tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for itself is today with its trouble”.

Matthew 6
6
Real Religion
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. 2Therefore 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. 3But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth: 4that 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. 6But 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. 7But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. 8Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him. 9After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. 10Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. 11Give us this day our daily bread. 12And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. 13And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. 14For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: 15but 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. 17But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face; 18that 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: 20but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: 21for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. 22The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. 23But 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!
True Wisdom
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. 25Therefore 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? 26Behold 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? 27Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? 28And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: 29and yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30Wherefore, 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? 31Therefore 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. 33But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. 34Take 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.
