¹ Take·​·heed that you do not^◦ do your alms in·​·front·​·of men, to be observed by them; otherwise you have no reward with^◦ your Father who is in the heavens.

² Therefore when thou doest alms, do not^◦ sound·​·a·​·trumpet in·​·front·​·of thee, just·​·as the hypocrites do, in the synagogues and in the lanes, so·​·that they may be glorified by men. Amen I say to you, They have their reward.

³ But^◦ when thou doest alms, let not^◦ thy left·​·hand know what^◦ thy right·​·hand does,

⁴ so·​·that thine alms may be in secret, and thy Father who looks in secret shall repay thee Himself in what·​·is·​·manifest.

⁵ And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be just·​·as the hypocrites; for they love^◦ to pray standing in the synagogues, and in the corners of the streets, so·​·that they may appear unto men. Amen I say unto you that they have their reward.

⁶ But^◦ thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy bedroom, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father who is in secret, and thy Father who looks in secret shall repay thee in what·​·is·​·manifest.

⁷ And^◦ when you pray, do not^◦ speak·​·on·​·and·​·on, just·​·as the gentiles, for^◦ they think that they shall be heard by^◦ their many·​·words.

⁸ Therefore be· ye not^◦ ·like them; for^◦ your Father knows^◦ what things you need^◦ before you ask Him.

⁹ In·​·this·​·way, therefore, you should pray: Our Father, who art in the heavens, hallowed be Thy name;

¹⁰ Thy kingdom come; Thy will be·​·done^◦, as in heaven so^◦ upon the earth.

¹¹ Give us this·​·day our daily^◦ 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^◦*; for Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.

¹⁴ For^◦ if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.

¹⁵ But^◦ if you do not^◦ forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

¹⁶ And^◦ when you fast, be^◦ not^◦ just·​·as the hypocrites, of·​·a·​·sad·​·face, for^◦ they spoil their faces, so·​·that they may appear to men to fast. Amen I say to you, that they have their reward.

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

¹⁸ so·​·that thou appear not^◦ to men to fast, but to thy Father who is in secret; and thy Father who looks·​·on in secret shall repay thee in what·​·is·​·manifest.

¹⁹ Treasure· not^◦ ·up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust spoil, and where thieves dig·​·through and steal;

²⁰ but^◦ treasure·​·up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust spoils, and where thieves do not dig·​·through nor steal.

²¹ For^◦ where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

²² The lamp of the body is the eye; if therefore thine eye be single^*, thy whole body shall be illuminated;

²³ but^◦ if thine eye be wicked, thy whole body shall be dark; if therefore the light in thee is darkness, how·​·great is the darkness!

²⁴ No·​·one can serve two lords, for^◦ either he will hate the one and love the·​·other^◦, or he will hold·​·to the one and despise the·​·other^◦. You cannot serve God and mammon^*.

²⁵ On·​·account·​·of this I say to you, Be· not^◦ ·anxious for your soul, what^◦ you shall eat and what^◦ you shall drink; nor for your body, what^◦ you shall put·​·on^◦. Is not the soul more than food, and the body more than clothing?

²⁶ Look·​·intently at the birds of the sky^*; for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns, and your heavenly Father feeds them. Are· you not ·of· more^◦ ·value than they?

²⁷ And^◦ which^◦ of you by being·​·anxious can add one cubit to his stature?

²⁸ And why are· you ·anxious about clothing? Consider^◦ the lilies of the field, how they grow; they labor not, neither do they spin;

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

³⁰ And^◦ if God so clothe the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, shall He not much more^◦ clothe you, O ye of·​·little·​·faith?

³¹ Be· not^◦ therefore ·anxious, saying, What^◦ shall we eat? or, What^◦ shall we drink? or, With what shall we be arrayed?

³² For^◦ all these·​·things do the nations seek; for^◦ your Heavenly Father knows^◦ that you need all these·​·things.

³³ But^◦ seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His justice, and all these·​·things shall be added to you.

³⁴ Therefore do not^◦ be·​·anxious for^◦ tomorrow; for^◦ tomorrow shall be·​·anxious for the·​·things of itself. Sufficient for the day is the evil of it.

¹ "I am the true vine, and my Father is the farmer.

² Every branch in me that doesn't bear fruit, he takes away. Every branch that bears fruit, he prunes, that it may bear more fruit.

³ You are already pruned clean because of the word which I have spoken to you.

⁴ Remain in me, and I in you. As the branch can't bear fruit by itself, unless it remains in the vine, so neither can you, unless you remain in me.

⁵ I am the vine. You are the branches. He who remains in me, and I in him, the same bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.

⁶ If a man doesn't remain in me, he is thrown out as a branch, and is withered; and they gather them, throw them into the fire, and they are burned.

⁷ If you remain in me, and my words remain in you, you will ask whatever you desire, and it will be done for you.

⁸ "In this is my Father glorified, that you bear much fruit; and so you will be my disciples.

⁹ Even as the Father has loved me, I also have loved you. Remain in my love.

¹⁰ If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and remain in his love.

¹¹ I have spoken these things to you, that my joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be made full.

¹² "This is my commandment, that you love one another, even as I have loved you.

¹³ Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.

¹⁴ You are my friends, if you do whatever I command you.

¹⁵ No longer do I call you servants, for the servant doesn't know what his lord does. But I have called you friends, for everything that I heard from my Father, I have made known to you.

¹⁶ You didn't choose me, but I chose you, and appointed you, that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain; that whatever you will ask of the Father in my name, he may give it to you.

¹⁷ "I command these things to you, that you may love one another.

¹⁸ If the world hates you, you know that it has hated me before it hated you.

¹⁹ If you were of the world, the world would love its own. But because you are not of the world, since I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.

²⁰ Remember the word that I said to you: 'A servant is not greater than his lord.' If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they kept my word, they will keep yours also.

²¹ But all these things will they do to you for my name's sake, because they don't know him who sent me.

²² If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have had sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin.

²³ He who hates me, hates my Father also.

²⁴ If I hadn't done among them the works which no one else did, they wouldn't have had sin. But now have they seen and also hated both me and my Father.

²⁵ But this happened so that the word may be fulfilled which was written in their law, 'They hated me without a cause.'

²⁶ "When the Counselor has come, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, he will testify about me.

²⁷ You will also testify, because you have been with me from the beginning.
