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!

8864. 'I am Jehovah your God' means the Lord in respect of the Divine Human reigning universally, in every single aspect of goodness and truth. This is clear from the consideration that in the Word no one other than the Lord is meant by 'Jehovah', 1343, 1736, 2921, 3023, 3035, 3448, 5663, 6280, 6281, 6303, 8274, or likewise by 'Jehovah Zebaoth', 'the Lord Jehovih', and 'Jehovah God', 2921, 3023, 3448, 6303; and from the consideration that the Lord is called 'Jehovah' by virtue of the Divine Good, which is the Divine Being (Esse), and 'God' by virtue of Divine Truth, which is the Divine Coming-into-being (Existere), 6905, and also 709, 732, 1096, 2586, 2769, 2807, 2822, 3921 (end), 4402. The reason why the Lord's Divine Human is what 'Jehovah God' is used to mean here is that the Lord in respect of that Divine Human is meant in the Word both by 'Jehovah' and by 'God'. Divine Good, which He is also in respect of the Human is meant by 'Jehovah', while Divine Truth, which He is because it goes forth from Him, is meant by 'God'.

[2] The reason why the Lord's Divine Human is meant by 'Jehovah God' is that the Divine Itself which is within the Lord cannot be seen in heaven or even perceived, thus cannot be received in faith and love; only the Divine Human can. The truth that the Divine Itself cannot be communicated to angels in heaven, still less to people on earth, except through the Divine Human is well known in the Churches from the Lord's words in the Gospels, where He says that He is the Door; that He is the Mediator; that nobody can come to the Father except through Him; that no one except Himself knows the Father; and that no one has seen the Father, not even some shape He might take. From all this it is evident that it is the Lord who is meant here by 'Jehovah God'. It is also well known that He is also the one who has redeemed the human race and delivered them from hell.

This truth is meant by the words that follow, by 'I brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slaves'. From all this it is now evident that Jehovah God, who spoke from Mount Sinai, is the Lord in respect of the Divine Human.

[3] The reason why this is the first truth to be stated by the Lord from Mount Sinai is that it must be present, reigning universally in each and every truth that follows. For what is stated first must be held in mind and must be seen to reside universally in everything that follows. What 'universally reigning' describes will be seen below. The truths which were stated by the Lord are all of this nature. That is to say, truths stated first must reign in those stated next and incorporate them; these in turn must reign in and incorporate those after that, and so on sequentially. In the present chapter the truths stated next are the Ten Commandments, which are inward truths, and after these the statutes, which are outward truths. The latter and the former must have the Lord - His Divine Human - reigning within them, for they spring from Himself, and are Himself. For, to be sure, truths which are truths all emanate from Him; and the things which emanate from Him are Himself. The truth that the Lord's Divine Human is what must reign in every single part of faith is also well known in the Churches; for they teach that there is no salvation without the Lord, and that all the truth and good of faith comes from Him. Thus since He is the source of faith He is the faith present with a person; and if He is the faith He is also all the truth contained in teachings about faith that are drawn from the Word. This also is the reason why the Lord is called 'the Word'.

[4] The truth that what comes first must reign in what comes next, and so on sequentially, as stated above, is clear from the individual parts of the things spoken by the Lord, in particular from His prayer called the Lord's Prayer. All its parts follow one another in such a sequence that they constitute a pillar so to speak, widening from the top down to the base and holding inside itself the things that appear earlier in the sequence. What is first there is inmost, and what comes after in sequence adds itself gradually to the inmost and in that way grows wider. What is inmost then reigns in all the surrounding parts; it reigns universally, that is, in every detail, for it is essential to the existence of them all.
