DOING MERCIES
Heed to not do your mercies in front of humanity to be observed of them: and if not, you have no reward of your Father in the the heavens: 2 so whenever you do your mercies, trump not ahead of you exactly as the hypocrites in the synagogues and in the streets, to be glorified by humanity. Amen! I word to you, they have their reward. 3 But when you do mercies, let not your left know what your right does: 4 so your mercies are in secret: and your Father who observes in secret himself gives you manifestly. 5
PRAYER
And whenever you pray, be not exactly as the hypocrites: for they befriend to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the broadways to manifest to humanity. Amen! I word to you, they have their reward. 6 But you, whenever you pray, enter your pantry and shut your portal; pray to your Father in secret; and your Father who observes in secret gives you manifestly: 7 but in praying use not vain repetitions exactly as the goyim: for they think they are heard for their polylogy: 8 So you, liken not to them: for your Father knows what you need ere you ask him. 9
A PRAYER EXAMPLE
So pray thus: Our Father in the heavens hallowed be your name: 10 your sovereigndom come; your will become in earth as in the heavens: 11 give us this day our bread of subsistance: 12 and forgive us our debts as we also forgive our debtors: 13 and bring us not into testing but rescue us from evil: for yours is the sovereigndom and the dynamis and the glory to the eons. Amen. 14
FORGIVING
For whenever you forgive humanity their backslidings, your heavenly Father also forgives you: 15 but whenever you forgive not humanity their backslidings, your Father forgives not your backslidings. 16
FASTING
Moreover whenever you fast, be not exactly as the hypocrites - sullen: for they camouflage their faces, to manifest to humanity they fast. Amen! I word to you, They have their reward. 17 But you, when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face; 18 that you not to manifest to humanity that you fast, but to your Father in secret: and your Father who observes in secret rewards you manifestly. 19
TREASURING TREASURES
Treasure not for yourselves treasures on earth; where moth and rust dissolve and where thieves break through and steal: 20 but treasure for yourselves treasures in the heavens; where neither moth nor rust dissolve and where thieves neither break through nor steal: 21 for where your treasure is, there your heart is also. 22
THE EYE
The candle of the body is the eye: so whenever your eye is clear, your whole body becomes brightly lit: 23 but whenever your eye is evil your whole body becomes dark: so whenever the light in you becomes darkness - how vast that darkness! 24
SERVING TWO ADONIM
No one can serve two adonim: for either he hates the one and loves the other; or else he upholds the one and disesteems the other: you cannot serve Elohim and mammon. 25 So I word to you, neither be anxious for your soul - what you eat or what you drink; nor yet for your body - what you endue. Is not indeed the soul much more than nourishment? And the body than enduement? 26 Look at the flyers of the heavens: for they neither spore nor harvest nor gather together into granaries; yet your Father of the heavenlies nourishes them. Surpass you not them? 27 Who of you, by anxiety, is able to add one cubit to his maturity? 28 And why be anxious about enduement? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they neither labor nor spin: 29 and yet I word to you, that even Shelomoh in all his glory arrayed not as one of these. 30 But if Elohim thus clothes the herbage of the field - which today is, and tomorrow cast into the oven - how not much more You, O you of little trust? 31 So be not anxious, wording, What eat we? or, What drink we? or, With what array we? 32 For the goyim seek after all these: for your Father of the heavenlies knows you need all these. 33
THE PROVISION OF YAH SHUA
But first seek the sovereigndom of Elohim and his justness; and all these add to you. 34 So be not anxious for the morrow: for the morrow has its own anxieties. Each day has sufficient malice.
