Do not even the tax collectors do the same? And if you salute your brothers only what more do you do than others? Do not even the heathen do that? therefore be perfect even like your Father in Heaven who is perfect; be diligent so that you do not give your charity in front of men to be seen by them otherwise you have no reward from your Father who is in Heaven; therefore do not sound a trumpet in front of you when you do your giving of charity like the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets so that they may have the glory of men; truly I say to you they have their reward; but when you give charity do not let your left hand know what your right hand does so that your giving of charity may be in secret and your Father who sees secretly shall Himself reward you openly; and when you pray you shall not be as the hypocrites are because they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets so that they may be seen by men; truly I say to you they have their reward; but when you pray enter into your closet and when you have shut your door pray to your Father who is in secret and your Father who sees secretly shall reward you openly; and when you pray do not use vain repetitions like the heathen do because they think that they shall be heard from out of their long talks therefore do not be like them because your Father knows what things you have need before you ask Him therefore pray like this and in this manner: Our Father who is in Heaven let your name be holy; let your Kingdom come let your will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven; give to us this day our daily bread and forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil because Yours is the Kingdom and the power and the glory for ever; Amen; because if you all forgive men their trespasses your heavenly Father will also forgive you but if you do not forgive men their trespasses neither will your Father forgive you your trespasses; also when you fast do not be like the hypocrites with a sad expression because they disfigure their faces so that they may appear to men as fasting; truly I say to you they have their reward; but when you fast anoint your head and wash your face so that you do not appear to men to be fasting; but fast because your Father who is in secret and who sees secretly shall reward you openly; Do not lay up treasures on the Earth for your selves where moth and rust corrupts and where thieves break into and steal but lay up treasures in Heaven for your selves where neither moth nor rust corrupts and where thieves do not break through nor steal; because where your treasure is there will be your heart also; The light of the body is the eye therefore if your eye is wholesome your whole body shall be filled with light; but if your eye is corrupt your whole body shall be full of darkness; therefore if the light that is in you is darkness how great is that darkness! No man can serve two masters because either he will hate one and love the other or he will hold to the one and despise the other; You cannot serve God and Mammon therefore I say to you have no fixation on thoughts about your life what you shall eat or what you shall drink nor even what you shall put on for your body
