1 Yet take heed not to be doing your righteousness in front of men, in order to be gazed at by them, otherwise surely you have no wages with your Father Who is in the heavens."
2 Whenever, then, you may be doing alms, you should not be trumpeting in front of you, even as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, so that they should be glorified by men. Verily, I am saying to you, They are collecting their wages!"
3 Yet you, doing alms, let not your left hand know what your right is doing,
4 so that your alms may be in hiding, and your Father, Who is observing in hiding, will be paying you."
5 And whenever you may be praying, you shall not be as the hypocrites, for they are fond of standing in the synagogues and at the corners of the squares to be praying, so that they may appear to men. Verily, I am saying to you, They are collecting their wages!"
6 Now you, whenever you may be praying, enter into your storeroom, and, locking your door, pray to your Father Who is in hiding, and your Father, Who is observing in hiding, will be paying you."
7 Now, in praying, you should not use useless repetitions even as those of the nations. For they are supposing that they will be hearkened to in their loquacity."
8 Do not, then, be like them, for aware is God, your Father, of what you have need before you request Him."
9 Thus, then, you be praying: 'Our Father Who art in the heavens, hallowed be Thy name."
10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, on earth also."
11 Our bread, our dole, be giving us today."
12 And remit to us our debts, as we also remit those of our debtors."
13 And mayest Thou not be bringing us into trial, but rescue us from the wicked one.'"
14 For if you should be forgiving men their offenses, your heavenly Father also will be forgiving you."
15 Yet if you should not be forgiving men their offenses, neither will your Father be forgiving your offenses."
16 Now whenever you may be fasting, become not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance, for they disguise their faces so that they may appear to men to be fasting. Verily, I am saying to you: They are collecting their wages."
17 Now you, when fasting, rub your head with oil and wash your face,
18 so that you may not appear to men to be fasting, but to your Father Who is in hiding, and your Father, Who is observing in hiding, will be paying you."
19 Do not hoard for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and corrosion are causing them to disappear, and where thieves are tunneling and stealing."
20 Yet hoard for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor corrosion are causing them to disappear, and where thieves are not tunneling nor stealing;"
21 for wherever your treasure is, there will your heart be also."
22 The lamp of the body is your eye. If, then, your eye should be single, your whole body will be luminous."
23 Yet if your eye should be wicked, your whole body will be dark. If, then, the light that is in you is darkness, how dense is the darkness!"
24 Now no one can be slaving for two lords, for either he will be hating the one and loving the other, or will be upholding one and despising the other. You can not be slaving for God and mammon."
25 Therefore I am saying to you, Do not worry about you soul, what you may be eating, or what you may be drinking, nor yet about your body, what you should be putting on. Is not the soul more than nourishment, and the body than apparel?
26 Look at the flying creatures of heaven, that they are not sowing, neither are they reaping, nor are they gathering into barns, and your heavenly Father is nourishing them. Are not you of more consequence than they?
27 Now who of you by worrying is able to add on to his stature one cubit?
28 And why are you worrying about apparel? Study the anemones of the field, how they are growing. Not toiling are they, nor yet are they spinning."
29 Yet I am saying to you that not even Solomon in all his glory was clothed as one of these.
30 Now if the grass of the field, which is today, and tomorrow is cast into the stove, God thus is garbing; not much rather you, scant of faith?
31 You, then, should not be worrying, saying, 'What may we be eating?' or 'What may we be drinking?' or 'With what may we be clothed?'"
32 For for all these the nations are seeking. For aware is your heavenly Father that you need all of these.
33 Yet seek first the kingdom and its righteousness, and these all shall be added to you."
34 You should not, then, be worrying about the morrow, for the morrow will be worrying of itself. Sufficient for the day is its own evil."

Matthew 6:1-34
Matthew 25:31-46
31 Now, whenever the Son of Mankind may be coming in His glory, and all the holy messengers with Him, then shall He be seated on the throne of His glory,
32 and in front of Him shall be gathered all the nations. And He shall be severing them from one another even as a shepherd is severing the sheep from the kids.
33 And He shall be standing the sheep, indeed, at His right, yet the kids at the left."
34 Then shall the King be declaring to those at His right, 'Hither, blessed of My Father! Enjoy the allotment of the kingdom made ready for you from the disruption of the world."
35 For I hunger and you give Me to eat' I thirst and you give Me drink; a stranger was I and you took Me in;
36 naked and you clothed Me; infirm am I and you visit Me; in jail was I and you come to Me.'
37 Then the just will be answering Him, saying, 'Lord, when did we perceive Thee hungering and nourish Thee, or thirsting and we give Thee drink?
38 Now when did we perceive Thee a stranger and took Thee in, or naked and we clothed Thee?
39 Now when did we perceive Thee infirm, or in jail, and we came to Thee?'"
40 And, answering, the King shall be declaring to them, 'Verily, I am saying to you, In as much as you do it to one of these, the least of My brethren, you do it to Me.'"
41 Then shall He be declaring to those also at His left, 'Go from Me, you cursed, into the fire eonian, made ready for the Adversary and his messengers."
42 For I hunger and you do not give Me to eat; I thirst and you do not give Me drink;
43 a stranger was I and you did not take Me in; naked and you did not clothe Me; infirm and in jail and you did not visit Me.'
44 Then shall they also be answering, saying, 'Lord, when did we perceive you hungering or thirsting, or a stranger, or naked, or infirm, or in jail, and we did not serve you?'"
45 Then shall He be answering them, saying, 'Verily, I am saying to you, In as much as you do it not to one of these, the least, neither do you it to Me.'"
46 And these shall be coming away into chastening eonian, yet the just into life eonian."

1 I am entreating you, then, brethren, by the pities of God, to present your bodies a sacrifice, living, holy, well pleasing to God, your logical divine service,
James 1:17
17 All good giving and every perfect gratuity is from above, descending from the Father of lights, in Whom there is no mutation or shadow from revolving motion."

John 1:1-51
1 In the beginning was the word, and the word was toward God, and God was the word. "
2 This was in the beginning toward God.
3 All came into being through it, and apart from it not even one thing came into being which has come into being."
4 In it was life, and the life was the light of men."
5 And the light is appearing in the darkness, and the darkness grasped it not."
6 There came to be a man, commissioned by God. His name was John."
7 This one came for a testimony, that he should be testifying concerning the light, that all should be believing through it."
8 Not he was the light, but he came that he should be testifying concerning the light. "
9 It was the true light - which is enlightening every man - coming into the world.
10 In the world He was, and the world came into being through Him, and the world knew Him not."
11 To His own He came, and those who are His own accepted Him not."
12 Yet whoever obtained Him, to them He gives the right to become children of God, to those who are believing in His name,
13 who were begotten, not of bloods, neither of the will of the flesh, neither of the will of a man, but of God."
14 And the Word became flesh and tabernacles among us, and we gaze at His glory, a glory as of an only-begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth."
15 John is testifying concerning Him and has cried, saying, "This was He of Whom I said, 'He Who is coming after me, has come to be in front of me,' for He was first, before me,
16 for of that which fills Him we all obtained, and grace for grace."
17 For the law through Moses was given; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
18 God no one has ever seen. The only-begotten God, Who is in the bosom of the Father, He unfolds Him."
19 And this is the testimony of John when the Jews of Jerusalem dispatch to him priests and Levites that they should be inquiring of him, "Who are you?
20 And he avows and denies not and avows that "I am not the Christ."
21 And they ask him again, "What are you then? Are you Elijah?And he is saying, "I am not."
22 Are you the Prophet?And he answered, "No.They said, then, to him, "Who are you? - that we may be giving an answer to those who send us. What are you saying concerning yourself?
23 He averred, "I am 'the voice of one imploring, "In the wilderness straighten the road of the Lord!"' according as said Isaiah the prophet."
24 And those who have been dispatched were of the Pharisees.
25 And they ask him and said to him, "Why, then, are you baptizing, if you are not the Christ, neither Elijah, nor the Prophet?
26 John answered them, saying, "I am baptizing in water. Now in the midst of you One stood of Whom you are not aware."
27 He it is Who, coming after me, has come to be in front of me, of Whom I am not worthy that I should be loosing the thong of His sandal."
28 These things occurred in Bethany, the other side of the Jordan river, where John was, baptizing."
29 On the morrow he is observing Jesus coming toward him, and is saying, "Lo! the Lamb of God Which is taking away the sin of the world!"
30 This is He concerning Whom I said, 'After me is coming a Man Who has come to be in front of me,' for He was First, before me."
31 And I was not aware of Him. But that He may be manifested to Israel, therefore came I, baptizing in water."
32 And John testifies, saying that "I have gazed upon the spirit, descending as a dove out of heaven, and it remains on Him."
33 And I was not aware of Him, but He Who sends me to be baptizing in water, That One said to me, 'On Whomever you may be perceiving the spirit descending and remaining on Him, This is He Who is baptizing in holy spirit.'"
34 And I have seen and have testified that This One is the Son of God."
35 On the morrow John again stood, and two of his disciples."
36 And, looking at Jesus walking, he is saying, "Lo! the Lamb of God!"
37 And the two disciples hear him speaking, and they follow Jesus."
38 Now Jesus, being turned and gazing at them following, is saying to them, "What are you seeking?Yet they said to Him, "Rabbi(which, being construed, is termed "Teacher"), "where art Thou remaining?
39 He is saying to them, "Come and see.They came, then, and perceived where He is remaining, and they remain with Him that day. It was about the tenth hour."
40 Now Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two who hear from John and follow Him."
41 This one first is finding his own brother, Simon, and is saying to him, "We have found the Messiah!(which is, being construed, "Christ")."
42 And he led him to Jesus. Looking at him, Jesus said, "You are Simon, the son of John. You shall be called Cephas(which is being translated "Peter")."
43 On the morrow He wants to come away into Galilee, and He is finding Philip. And Jesus is saying to him, "Follow Me."
44 Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter."
45 Philip is finding Nathanael and is saying to him, "Him of Whom Moses writes in the law and the prophets, have we found Jesus, a son of Joseph, from Nazareth."
46 And Nathanael said to him, "Can anything good be out of Nazareth?Philip is saying to him, "Come and see!"
47 Jesus perceived Nathanael coming toward Him, and is saying concerning him, "Lo! truly an Israelite in whom there is no guile!"
48 Nathanael is saying to Him, "Whence do you know me?Jesus answered and said to him, "Before Philip summons you, when you are under the fig tree, I perceived you."
49 Nathanael answered and is saying to Him, "Rabbi, Thou art the Son of God! Thou art the King of Israel!"
50 Jesus answered and said to him, "Seeing that I said to you that 'I perceived you underneath the fig tree,' are you believing? Greater things than these should you be seeing!"
51 And He is saying to him, "Verily, verily, I am saying to you, henceforth you shall be seeing heaven opened up and the messengers of God ascending and descending on the Son of Mankind."
