Matteus 6

Studie

   

1 Hoidke, et te armastuseande ei jaga inimeste nähes selleks, et nemad teid vaatleksid; muidu ei ole teil palka Oma Isalt, Kes on taevas.

2 Seepärast, kui sa armastuseande annad, siis ära lase enese ees sarve puhuda, nagu silmakirjatsejad teevad kogudusekodades ja uulitsail, et inimesed neid ülistaksid. Tõesti Ma ütlen teile, et neil on oma palk käes!

3 Vaid kui sina armastuseande annad, siis ärgu su vasak käsi teadku, mida su parem käsi teeb,

4 et su armastuseannid oleksid salajas; ja su Isa, kes näeb salajasse, tasub sinule.

6 Ent sina, kui sa palvetad, siis mine oma kambrisse ja sule uks, ja palu oma Isa, Kes on salajas, ja su Isa, kes näeb salajasse, tasub sinule.

7 Aga kui te palvetate, siis ärge palju lobisege, nõnda nagu paganad, sest nad arvavad, et neid kuuldakse nende paljude sõnade tõttu.

8 Ärge siis saage nende sarnaseks, sest Jumal, teie Isa, teab, mida te vajate, enne kui te Teda palute.

10 sinu Riik tulgu; Sinu tahtmine sündigu nagu taevas, nõnda ka maa peal;

11 meie igapäevane leib anna meile tänapäev;

12 ja anna meile andeks meie võlad, nagu meiegi andeks anname oma võlglastele;

13 ja ära saada meid kiusatusse, vaid päästa meid kurjast; sest Sinu on Riik ja vägi ja au igavesti! Aamen.

14 Sest kui te annate andeks inimestele nende eksimused, siis annab teie taevane Isa ka teile andeks.

15 Aga kui te inimestele nende eksimusi andeks ei anna, siis ei anna ka teie Isa teie eksimusi andeks.

16 Aga kui te paastute, siis ärge jääge kurvanäoliseks, nõnda nagu silmakirjatsejad; sest nad teevad oma palge näotumaks, et rahvas näeks neid paastuvat. Tõesti, Ma ütlen teile, neil on oma palk käes!

17 Vaid kui sina paastud, siis võia oma pea ja pese oma pale,

18 et su paastumine ei oleks nähtav inimestele, vaid su Isale, Kes on salajas. Ja su Isa, Kes näeb salajasse, tasub sinule.

20 Vaid koguge endile varandusi taevasse, kus koi ega rooste ei riku ja kus vargad sisse ei murra ega varasta.

21 Sest kus su varandus on, seal on ka su süda!

22 Ihu küünal on silm; kui su silm on terve, siis on kõik su ihu valguses.

23 Aga kui su silm on rikkis, siis on kogu su ihu pimeduses. Kui nüüd su valgus, mis on sinus, on pimedus, kui suur on siis pimedus?

26 Pange tähele taeva linde: nad ei külva ega lõika ega pane kokku aitadesse, ja teie taevane Isa toidab neid. Eks teie ole palju enam kui nemad?

27 Aga kes teie seast võib muretsemisega oma pikkusele ühegi küünra jätkata?

28 Ja miks te muretsete riietuse pärast? Pange tähele lilli väljal, kuidas nad kasvavad; nad ei tee tööd ega ketra.

29 Ometi Ma ütlen teile, et Saalomongi kõiges oma hiilguses pole olnud nõnda ehitud kui üks nendest!

30 Kui nüüd Jumal rohtu väljal, mis täna on ja homme ahju visatakse, nõnda ehib, kas siis mitte palju enam teid, teie nõdrausulised?

31 Ärge siis olge mures, küsides: Mida me sööme? või: Mida me joome? või: Millega me riietume?

32 Sest kõike seda taotlevad paganad. Teie taevane Isa teab ju, et te seda kõike vajate.

33 Ent otsige esiti Jumala Riiki ja Tema õigust, siis seda kõike antakse teile pealegi!

34 Ärge siis olge mures homse pärast, sest küll homne päev muretseb enese eest. Igale päevale saab küllalt omast vaevast!

4903. 'Saying, Tamar your daughter-in-law has committed whoredom' means a perception at this point that to say anything of marriage exists between them is a falsity. This is clear from the meaning of 'saying' in the historical descriptions of the Word as perception, dealt with above in 4892; from the meaning of 'committing whoredom' as falsity, dealt with in 2466, 2729, 3399, 4865; from the representation of 'Tamar' as the internal aspect of the representative Church, also dealt with above, in 4864; and from the meaning of 'a daughter-in-law' as the truth of the Church, dealt with in 4843, 4869. Consequently the words 'saying, Tamar your daughter-in-law has committed whoredom' means a perception at this point that to say anything of marriage exists between them is a falsity. The implications of all this may be seen above in 4864-4866; with its semblance of religion the Jewish nation perceived the internal aspect of the Church to be nothing else than a harlot, and its preaching and life based on this to be nothing else than whoredom. For those people who are confined to what is external devoid of anything internal do not look on the internal aspect of the Church in any other way. They give the name falsity to that which is true, and the name truth to that which is false. They do so for the reason that being confined to what is external does not enable anyone to see whether a thing is false or true; only what is internal makes this possible internal sight is a necessary ability which can make judgements about things seen by external sight; and to make such judgements internal sight must be fully in the light of heaven. But it is not in the light of heaven unless the person has faith in the Lord and this faith leads him to read the Word.

[2] The fact that the Jewish nation were confined to what was external devoid of anything internal, so that it believed what was true to be falsity, and conversely what was false to be the truth, is quite evident from their teaching that one was allowed to hate an enemy and also from their life of hating all who did not belong to their semblance of religion. Indeed it is quite evident from their belief that they pleased and served Jehovah when they treated gentile nations in a savage and cruel fashion, that is to say, when they exposed the bodies of those whom they had slaughtered to be devoured by wild animals or birds, cut up those who were still alive, hacked them to pieces with iron picks and axes, or made them pass through the brickkiln, 2 Samuel 12:31. Indeed their teachings asserted that even an ally who for some reason had been declared an enemy was to be treated in much the same way. From these considerations it becomes quite clear that nothing internal at all lay within their semblance of religion. If anyone at that time had told them that such actions were contrary to the inner spirit of the Church they would have replied that this was a falsity. The fact that they were confined to what was external, having no knowledge at all of anything internal and leading lives contrary to what was internal, is also evident from what the Lord teaches in Matthew 5:21-48.
