Matthew 6 - Interlinear Bible
Giving to the Poor and Prayer
2
"So when you
give to the poor, do not
sound a
trumpet before you, as the
hypocrites do in the
synagogues and in the
streets,
so that they may be
honored by
men.
Truly I
say to you, they
have their
reward in
full.
3
"But when you
give to the poor, do not let your
left hand know what your
right hand is
doing,
4
so that your
giving will be in
secret ; and your
Father who
sees what is done in
secret will
reward you.
5
"When you
pray, you are not to be
like the
hypocrites ; for they
love to
stand and
pray in the
synagogues and on the
street corners so that they may be
seen by
men.
Truly I
say to you, they
have their
reward in
full.
6
"But you,
when you
pray,
go into your
inner room,
close your
door and
pray to your
Father who is in
secret, and your
Father who sees what is done in
secret will
reward you.
7
"And when you are
praying, do not
use meaningless repetition as the
Gentiles do, for they
suppose that they will be
heard for their
many words.
8
"So do not be
like them; for your
Father knows what you
need before you
ask Him.
10
' Your
kingdom come. Your
will be
done, On
earth as it is in
heaven.
12
'And
forgive us our
debts, as we
also have
forgiven our
debtors.
13
'And do not
lead us into
temptation, but
deliver us from
evil. [For
Yours is the
kingdom and the
power and the
glory forever.
Amen.' ]
15
"But
if you do not
forgive others,
then your
Father will not
forgive your
transgressions.
Fasting; The True Treasure; Wealth (Mammon)
16
"
Whenever you
fast, do not
put on a
gloomy face as the
hypocrites do, for they
neglect their
appearance so that they will be
noticed by
men when they are
fasting.
Truly I
say to you, they
have their
reward in
full.
17
"But you, when you
fast,
anoint your
head and
wash your
face
18
so that your
fasting will not be
noticed by
men, but by your
Father who is in
secret ; and your
Father who sees what is done in
secret will
reward you.
21
for
where your
treasure is,
there your
heart will be
also.
22
" The
eye is the
lamp of the
body ;
so then if your
eye is
clear, your
whole body will be
full of
light.
23
"But
if your
eye is
bad, your
whole body will be
full of
darkness.
If then the
light that is in you is
darkness,
how great is the
darkness !
The Cure for Anxiety
25
" For
this reason I
say to you, do not be
worried about your
life, as to
what you will
eat or what you will
drink ;
nor for your
body, as to
what you will
put on. Is not
life more than
food, and the
body more than
clothing ?
26
"
Look at the
birds of the
air, that they do not
sow,
nor reap nor gather into
barns, and yet your
heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not
worth much more than they?
27
"And
who of you by being
worried can add a single
hour to his
life ?
28
"And
why are you
worried about clothing ?
Observe how the
lilies of the
field grow ; they do not
toil nor do they
spin,
29
yet I
say to you that not
even Solomon in
all his
glory clothed himself
like one of
these.
30
"But
if God so clothes the
grass of the
field, which is alive
today and
tomorrow is
thrown into the
furnace, will He not
much more clothe you? You of
little faith !
31
"Do not
worry then,
saying,
'What will we
eat?'
or 'What will we
drink?'
or 'What will
wear for
clothing?'
33
"But
seek first His
kingdom and His
righteousness, and
all these things will be
added to you.
34
"So do not
worry about tomorrow ; for
tomorrow will
care for
itself. Each
day has
enough trouble of its own.
