Mattithyahu (Matthew) 6 - The Scriptures 2009(TS2009)

1“Beware of doing your kind deeds before men, in order to be seen by them. Otherwise you have no reward from your Father in the heavens.

2“Thus, when you do a kind deed, do not sound a trumpet before you as the hypocrites do, in the congregations and in the streets, to be praised by men. Truly, I say to you, they have their reward.

3But when you do a kind deed, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,

4so that your kind deed shall be in secret. And your Father who sees in secret shall Himself reward you openly.

5“And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the congregations and on the corners of the streets, to be seen by men. Truly, I say to you, they have their reward.

6But you, when you pray, go into your room, and having shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place. And your Father who sees in secret shall reward you openly.

7“And when praying, do not keep on babbling like the nations. For they think that they shall be heard for their many words.

8Therefore do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.

9“This, then, is the way you should pray: ‘Our Father who is in the heavens, let Your Name be set-apart,

10let Your reign come, let Your desire be done on earth as it is in heaven.

11Give us today our daily bread.

12And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

13‘And do not lead us into trial, all your body shall be darkened. If, then, the light that is within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!

24No one is able to serve two masters, for either he shall hate the one and love the other, or else he shall cleave to the one and despise the other. You are not able to serve Elohim and mammon.

25“Because of this I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you shall eat or drink, or about your body, what you shall put on. Is not life more than the food and the body more than the clothing?

26Look at the birds of the heaven, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into storehouses, yet your heavenly Father does feed them. Are you not worth more than they?

27“And which of you by worrying is able to add one cubit to his life’s span?

28So why do you worry about clothing? Note well the lilies of the field, how they grow. They neither toil nor spin,

29and I say to you that even Shelomoh in all his esteem was not dressed like one of these.

30“But if Elohim so clothes the grass of the field, which exists today, and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, how much more you, O you of little belief?

31Do not worry then, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’

32“For all these the nations seek for. And your heavenly Father knows that you need all these.

33But seek first the reign of Elohim, and His righteousness, and all these shall be added to you.

34“Do not, then, worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow shall have its own worries. Each day has enough evil of itself.
