If you do, your Father in heaven will not reward you.</p> <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/matthew/6-2.htm"><b>2</b></a></span>So when you give to the poor, don't announce it with trumpet fanfare. This is what hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets in order to be praised by people. I can guarantee this truth: That will be their only reward. <span class="reftext"><a href="/matthew/6-3.htm"><b>3</b></a></span>When you give to the poor, don't let your left hand know what your right hand is doing. <span class="reftext"><a href="/matthew/6-4.htm"><b>4</b></a></span>Give your contributions privately. Your Father sees what you do in private. He will reward you.</p> <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/matthew/6-5.htm"><b>5</b></a></span>"When you pray, don't be like hypocrites. They like to stand in synagogues and on street corners to pray so that everyone can see them. I can guarantee this truth: That will be their only reward. <span class="reftext"><a href="/matthew/6-6.htm"><b>6</b></a></span>When you pray, go to your room and close the door. Pray privately to your Father who is with you. Your Father sees what you do in private. He will reward you.</p> <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/matthew/6-7.htm"><b>7</b></a></span>"When you pray, don't ramble like heathens who think they'll be heard if they talk a lot. <span class="reftext"><a href="/matthew/6-8.htm"><b>8</b></a></span>Don't be like them. Your Father knows what you need before you ask him.</p> <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/matthew/6-9.htm"><b>9</b></a></span>"This is how you should pray: Our Father in heaven, let your name be kept holy.</p> <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/matthew/6-10.htm"><b>10</b></a></span>Let your kingdom come.

So if your eye is unclouded, your whole body will be full of light. <span class="reftext"><a href="/matthew/6-23.htm"><b>23</b></a></span>But if your eye is evil, your whole body will be full of darkness. If the light in you is darkness, how dark it will be!</p> <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/matthew/6-24.htm"><b>24</b></a></span>"No one can serve two masters. He will hate the first master and love the second, or he will be devoted to the first and despise the second. You cannot serve God and wealth.</p> <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/matthew/6-25.htm"><b>25</b></a></span>"So I tell you to stop worrying about what you will eat, drink, or wear. Isn't life more than food and the body more than clothes? <span class="reftext"><a href="/matthew/6-26.htm"><b>26</b></a></span>"Look at the birds. They don't plant, harvest, or gather the harvest into barns. Yet, your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren't you worth more than they? <span class="reftext"><a href="/matthew/6-27.htm"><b>27</b></a></span>"Can any of you add a single hour to your life by worrying? <span class="reftext"><a href="/matthew/6-28.htm"><b>28</b></a></span>"And why worry about clothes? Notice how the flowers grow in the field. They never work or spin yarn for clothes. <span class="reftext"><a href="/matthew/6-29.htm"><b>29</b></a></span>But I say that not even Solomon in all his majesty was dressed like one of these flowers. <span class="reftext"><a href="/matthew/6-30.htm"><b>30</b></a></span>That's the way God clothes the grass in the field. Today it's alive, and tomorrow it's thrown into an incinerator. So how much more will he clothe you people who have so little faith? <span class="reftext"><a href="/matthew/6-31.htm"><b>31</b></a></span>"Don't ever worry and say, 'What are we going to eat?' or 'What are we going to drink?' or 'What are we going to wear?' <span class="reftext"><a href="/matthew/6-32.htm"><b>32</b></a></span>Everyone is concerned about these things, and your heavenly Father certainly knows you need all of them. <span class="reftext"><a href="/matthew/6-33.htm"><b>33</b></a></span>But first, be concerned about his kingdom and what has his approval. Then all these things will be provided for you.</p> <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/matthew/6-34.htm"><b>34</b></a></span>"So don't ever worry about tomorrow. After all, tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
