6“Examine your motives to make sure you’re not showing off when you do your good deeds, only to be admired by others; otherwise, you will lose the reward of your heavenly Father.G4337G4160G3361G5216G1654G1715G444G4314G2300G846G1490G2192G3756G3408G3844G5216G3962G3588G1722G3772 2So when you give to the poor, don’t announce it and make a show of it just to be seen by people, like the hypocrites in the streets and in the marketplace. They’ve already received their reward!G3767G3752G4160G1654G4537G3361G4537G1715G4675G5618G5273G4160G1722G4864G2532G1722G4505G3704G1392G5259G444G281G3004G5213G568G846G3408 3But when you demonstrate generosity, do it with pure motives and without drawing attention to yourself.G1161G4675G4160G1654G1097G3361G4675G710G1097G5101G4675G1188G4160 4Give secretly and your Father, who sees all you do, will reward you openly.”G3704G4675G1654G5600G1722G2927G2532G4675G3962G3588G991G1722G2927G846G591G4671G1722G5318 5“Whenever you pray, be sincere and not like the pretenders who love the attention they receive while praying before others in the meetings and on street corners. Believe me, they’ve already received their reward.G2532G3752G4336G2071G3756G2071G5618G5273G3754G5368G4336G2476G1722G4864G2532G1722G1137G4113G3704G302G5316G444G281G3004G5213G3754G568G846G3408 6But whenever you pray, go into your innermost chamber and be alone with Father God, praying to him in secret. And your Father, who sees all you do, will reward you openly.G1161G4771G3752G4336G1525G1519G4675G5009G2532G2808G4675G2374G4336G4675G3962G3588G1722G2927G2532G4675G3962G3588G991G1722G2927G591G4671G1722G5318 7When you pray, there is no need to repeat empty phrases, praying like the Gentiles do, for they expect God to hear them because of their many words.G1161G4336G945G3361G945G5618G1482G1063G1380G3754G1522G1722G846G4180 8There is no need to imitate them, since your Father already knows what you need before you ask him.G3666G3361G3666G3767G3666G846G1063G5216G3962G1492G3739G2192G5532G4253G5209G154G846 9Pray like this: ‘Our Beloved Father, dwelling in the heavenly realms, may the glory of your name be the center on which our lives turn.G3779G3767G4336G5210G2257G3962G3588G1722G3772G37G4675G3686 10Manifest your kingdom realm, and cause your every purpose to be fulfilled on earth, just as it is in heaven.G4675G932G2064G4675G2307G1096G1909G1093G2532G5613G1722G3772 11We acknowledge you as our Provider of all we need each day.G1325G2254G4594G2257G1967G740 12Forgive us the wrongs we have done as we ourselves release forgiveness to those who have wronged us.G2532G863G2254G2257G3783G2532G5613G2249G863G2257G3781 13Rescue us every time we face tribulation and set us free from evil. For you are the King who rules with power and glory forever. Amen.’G2532G1533G2248G3361G1519G3986G235G4506G2248G575G4190G3754G4675G2076G932G2532G1411G2532G1391G1519G165G281 14“And when you pray, make sure you forgive the faults of others so that your Father in heaven will also forgive you.G1063G1437G863G444G846G3900G5216G3770G3962G2532G863G5213 15But if you withhold forgiveness from others, your Father withholds forgiveness from you.”G1161G3362G863G3362G444G846G3900G3761G5216G3962G863G5216G3900 16“When you fast, don’t look gloomy and pretend to be spiritual. They want everyone to know they’re fasting, so they appear in public looking miserable and disheveled. Believe me, they’ve already received their reward.G1161G3752G3522G1096G3361G5618G5273G4659G1063G853G846G4383G3704G5316G444G3522G281G3004G5213G3754G568G846G3408 17[17-18] When you fast, don’t let it be obvious, but instead, wash your face and groom yourself and realize that your Father in the secret place is the one who is watching all that you do in secret and will continue to reward you.”G1161G4771G3522G218G4675G2776G2532G3538G4675G4383 18.G3704G5316G3361G444G3522G235G4675G3962G3588G1722G2927G2532G4675G3962G3588G991G1722G2927G591G4671G1722G5318 19“Don’t keep hoarding for yourselves earthly treasures that can be stolen by thieves. Material wealth eventually rusts, decays, and loses its value.G2343G3361G2343G5213G2344G1909G1093G3699G4597G2532G1035G853G2532G3699G2812G1358G2532G2813 20Instead, stockpile heavenly treasures for yourselves that cannot be stolen and will never rust, decay, or lose their value.G1161G2343G5213G2344G1722G3772G3699G3777G4597G3777G1035G853G2532G3699G2812G1358G3756G1358G3761G2813 21For your heart will always pursue what you esteem as your treasure.G1063G3699G5216G2344G2076G1563G2071G5216G2588G2071G2532 22“The eyes of your spirit allow revelation-light to enter into your being. If your heart is unclouded, the light floods in!G3088G4983G2076G3788G1437G3767G4675G3788G5600G573G4675G3650G4983G2071G5460 23But if your eyes are focused on money, the light cannot penetrate and darkness takes its place. How profound will be the darkness within you if the light of truth cannot enter!G1161G1437G4675G3788G5600G4190G4675G3650G4983G2071G4652G1487G3767G5457G2076G1722G4671G4655G4214G4655 24“How could you worship two gods at the same time? You will have to hate one and love the other, or be devoted to one and despise the other. You can’t worship the true God while enslaved to the god of money!”G3762G1410G1398G1417G2962G1063G2228G3404G1520G2532G25G2087G2228G472G1520G2532G2706G2087G3756G1410G1398G2316G2532G3126 25“This is why I tell you to never be worried about your life, for all that you need will be provided, such as food, water, clothing—everything your body needs. Isn’t there more to your life than a meal? Isn’t your body more than clothing?G1223G5124G3004G5213G3361G3309G5216G5590G5101G5315G2532G5101G4095G3366G5216G4983G5101G1746G2076G3780G5590G4119G5160G2532G4983G1742 26“Consider the birds—do you think they worry about their existence? They don’t plant or reap or store up food, yet your heavenly Father provides them each with food. Aren’t you much more valuable to your Father than they?G1689G1519G4071G3772G3754G4687G3756G3761G2325G3761G4863G1519G596G2532G5216G3770G3962G5142G846G1308G5210G3756G3123G1308G846 27So, which one of you by worrying could add anything to your life?G1161G1537G5101G5216G3309G1410G4369G1520G4083G1909G846G2244 28“And why would you worry about your clothing? Look at all the beautiful flowers of the field. They don’t work or toil,G2532G5101G3309G4012G1742G2648G2918G68G4459G837G2872G3756G3761G3514 29and yet not even Solomon in all his splendor was robed in beauty like one of these!G1161G3004G5213G3754G3761G4672G1722G3956G846G1391G4016G3761G4016G5613G1520G5130 30So if God has clothed the meadow with hay, which is here for such a short time and then dried up and burned, won’t he provide for you the clothes you need—you of little faith?G1161G1487G2316G3779G294G5528G68G4594G5607G2532G839G906G1519G2823G3756G4183G3123G5209G3640 31“So then, forsake your worries! Why would you say, ‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What will we wear?’G3767G3361G3309G3004G5101G5315G2228G5101G4095G2228G5101G4016 32For that is what the unbelievers chase after. Doesn’t your heavenly Father already know the things your bodies require?G1063G1934G3956G5023G1484G1934G1063G5216G3770G3962G1492G3754G5535G537G5130 33“So above all, constantly seek God’s kingdom and his righteousness, then all these less important things will be given to you abundantly.G1161G2212G4412G932G2316G2532G846G1343G2532G3956G5023G4369G5213 34Refuse to worry about tomorrow, but deal with each challenge that comes your way, one day at a time. Tomorrow will take care of itself.”G3309G3767G3361G3309G1519G839G1063G839G3309G3588G1438G713G2250G2549G846
