Matthew 6:12-22

12 'And ¹forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.

13 'And do not lead us into temptation, but ²deliver us from ³evil. [For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.']

14 "⁴For if you forgive others for their transgressions, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.

15 "But ⁵if you do not forgive others, then your Father will not forgive your transgressions.

Fasting; The True Treasure; Wealth (Mammon)

16 "⁶Whenever 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. ⁷Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full.

17 "But you, when you fast, ⁸anoint 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 ⁹Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you.

19 "¹⁰Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.

20 "But store up for yourselves ¹¹treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or steal;

21 for ¹²where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

22 "¹³The eye is the lamp of the body; so then if your eye is clear, your whole body will be full of light.
