Matthew 6 :: Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

“Beware ^G4337 of doing ^G4160 your righteousness ^G1343 before ^G1715 men ^G444 to be noticed ^G2300 by them; otherwise ^G1490 you have ^G2192 no ^G3756 reward ^G3408 with your Father ^G3962 who ^G3588 is in heaven ^G3772.

“Therefore ^G3767, when ^G3752 you [fn]give ^G4160 to the poor, do not sound ^G4537 a ^G4537 trumpet ^G4537 before ^G1715 you, as the hypocrites ^G5273 do ^G4160 in the synagogues ^G4864 and in the streets ^G4505, so ^G3767 that they may be glorified ^G1392 by men ^G444. Truly ^G281 I say ^G3004 to you, they have ^G568 their reward ^G3408 in full ^G568.

“And when ^G3752 you pray ^G4336, you are not to be like ^G5613 the hypocrites ^G5273; for they love ^G5368 to stand ^G2476 and pray ^G4336 in the synagogues ^G4864 and on the street ^G4116 corners ^G1137 [fn]so ^G3704 that they may be seen ^G5316 by men ^G444. Truly ^G281 I say ^G3004 to you, they have ^G568 their reward ^G3408 in full ^G568.

“And when you are praying ^G4336, do not use ^G945 meaningless ^G945 repetition ^G945 as the Gentiles ^G1482 do, for they suppose ^G1380 that they will be heard ^G1522 for their many ^G4180 words ^G4180.

“Pray ^G4336, then ^G3767, in ^G3779 this ^G3779 way ^G3779:

‘Our Father ^G3962 who ^G3588 is in heaven ^G3772,

Hallowed ^G37 be Your name ^G3686.

‘Your kingdom ^G932 come ^G2064.

Your will ^G2307 be done ^G1096,

On earth ^G1093 as it is in heaven ^G3772.

‘Give ^G1325 us this ^G4594 day ^G4594 [fn]our daily ^G1967 bread ^G740.

‘And forgive ^G863 us our debts ^G3783, as we also ^G2532 have forgiven ^G863 our debtors ^G3781.

‘And do not lead ^G1533 us into temptation ^G3986, but deliver ^G4506 us from [fn]the ^G3588 evil ^G4190 one. [fn][For Yours ^G4771 is the kingdom ^G932 and the power ^G1411 and the glory ^G1391 forever ^G165. Amen ^G281.’]

“For if ^G1437 you forgive ^G863 [fn]others ^G444 for their transgressions ^G3900, your heavenly ^G3770 Father ^G3962 will also ^G2532 forgive ^G863 you.

“Now whenever ^G3752 you fast ^G3522, do not put ^G1096 on a gloomy ^G4659 face ^G4659 as the hypocrites ^G5273 do, for they [fn]neglect ^G853 their appearance ^G4383 so ^G3704 that they will be noticed ^G5316 by men ^G444 when they are fasting ^G3522. Truly ^G281 I say ^G3004 to you, they have ^G568 their reward ^G3408 in full ^G568.

“Do not store ^G2343 up ^G2343 for yourselves ^G4771 treasures ^G2344 on earth ^G1093, where ^G3699 moth ^G4597 and rust ^G1035 destroy ^G853, and where ^G3699 thieves ^G2812 break ^G1358 in ^G1358 and steal ^G2813.

“The eye ^G3788 is the lamp ^G3088 of the body ^G4983; so ^G3767 then ^G3767 if ^G1437 your eye ^G3788 is [fn]clear ^G573, your whole ^G3650 body ^G4983 will be full ^G5460 of ^G5460 light ^G5460.

“No ^G3762 one ^G3762 can ^G1410 [fn]serve ^G1398 two ^G1417 masters ^G2962; for either ^G2228 he will hate ^G3404 the one ^G1520 and love ^G25 the other ^G2087, or ^G2228 he will be devoted ^G472 to one ^G1520 and despise ^G2706 the other ^G2087. You cannot ^G1410 G3756 [fn]serve ^G1398 God ^G2316 and [fn]wealth ^G3126.

“For this ^G3778 reason ^G1223 I say ^G3004 to you, [fn]do not be worried ^G3309 about ^G3588 your [fn]life ^G5590, as to what ^G5101 you will eat ^G2068 or ^G2228 what ^G5101 you will drink ^G4095; nor ^G3366 for your body ^G4983, as to what ^G5101 you will put ^G1746 on. Is not life ^G5590 more ^G4183 than food ^G5160, and the body ^G4983 more ^G4183 than clothing ^G1742?

“So ^G3767 do not worry ^G3309 about ^G1519 tomorrow ^G839; for tomorrow ^G839 will worry ^G3309 about ^G3309 itself ^G1438. [fn]Each day ^G2250 has enough ^G713 trouble ^G2549 of its own.
