马太福音 6

施舍不可张扬

1 “你们小心，不要在众人面前行你们的义，让他们看见；如果这样，就得不到你们天父的赏赐。2 因此你施舍的时候，不可到处张扬，好像伪君子在会堂和街上所作的一样，以博取众人的称讚。我实在告诉你们，他们已经得了他们的赏赐。3 你施舍的时候，不要让左手知道右手所作的，4 好使你的施舍是在隐密中行的。你父在隐密中察看，必定报答你。
如何祷告5 “你们祈祷的时候，不可像伪君子；他们喜欢在会堂和路口站着祈祷，好让人看见。我实在告诉你们，他们已经得了他们的赏赐。6 但你祈祷的时候，要进到密室里去，关上门，向在隐密中的父祈祷。你父在隐密中察看，必定报答你。7 你们祈祷的时候，不可重复无意义的话，像教外人一样，他们以为话多了就蒙垂听。8 你们不可像他们，因为在你们祈求以先，你们的父已经知道你们的需要了。9 所以你们要这样祈祷：
‘我们在天上的父，
愿你的名被尊为圣，10 愿你的国降临，
愿你的旨意成就在地上，
如同在天上一样。11 我们每天所需的食物，
求你今天赐给我们；12 赦免我们的罪债，
好像我们饶恕了得罪我们的人；13 不要让我们陷入试探，
救我们脱离那恶者。’14 如果你们饶恕别人的过犯，你们的天父也必饶恕你们。15 如果你们不饶恕别人，你们的父也必不饶恕你们的过犯。
禁食不让人知16 “你们禁食的时候，不可像伪君子那样愁眉苦脸，他们装成难看的样子，叫人看出他们在禁食。我实在告诉你们，他们已经得了他们的赏赐。17 可是你禁食的时候，要梳头洗脸，18 不要叫人看出你在禁食，只让在隐密中的父看见。你父在隐密中察看，必定报答你。
积财于天19 “不可为自己在地上积聚财宝，因为地上有虫蛀，有锈侵蚀，也有贼挖洞来偷。20 要为自己积聚财宝在天上，那里没有虫蛀锈蚀，也没有贼挖洞来偷。21 你的财宝在哪里，你的心也在哪里。
里面的光22 “眼睛就是身体的灯。如果你的眼睛健全，全身就都明亮；23 如果你的眼睛有毛病，全身就都黑暗。如果你里面的光变成黑暗，这是多么的黑暗！
不要为明天忧虑24 “一个人不能服事两个主人；他若不是恨这个爱那个，就是忠于这个轻视那个。你们不能服事 神，又服事金钱。25 所以我告诉你们，不要为生命忧虑吃甚么喝甚么，也不要为身体忧虑穿甚么。难道生命不比食物重要吗？身体不比衣服重要吗？26 你们看天空的飞鸟：牠们不撒种，不收割，也不收进仓里，你们的天父尚且养活牠们；难道你们不比牠们更宝贵吗？27 你们中间谁能用忧虑使自己的寿命延长一刻呢？28 何必为衣服忧虑呢？试想田野的百合花怎样生长，它们不劳苦，也不纺织。29 但我告诉你们，就是所罗门最威荣的时候所穿的，也比不上这花中的一朵。30 田野的草，今天还在，明天就投进炉里， 神尚且这样妆扮它们；小信的人哪，何况你们呢？31 所以不要忧虑，说：‘我们该吃甚么？喝甚么？穿甚么？’32 这些都是教外人所寻求的，你们的天父原知道你们需要这一切。33 你们要先求他的国和他的义，这一切都必加给你们。34 所以不要为明天忧虑，因为明天自有明天的忧虑，一天的难处一天当就够了。”

Matthew 6

Pure-hearted Giving

1 “Bes careful not to display your righteousness merely to be seen by people.t Otherwise you have no reward with your Father in heaven.2 Thus whenever you do charitable giving,t do not blow a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in synagoguess and on streets so that people will praise them. I tell you the truth,t they have their reward.3 But when you do your giving, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,

4 so that your gift may be in secret. And your Father, who sees in secret, will reward you.s

Private Prayer

5 “Whenever you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, because they love to pray while standing in synagoguess and on street corners so that people can see them. Truly I say to you, they have their reward.6 But whenever you pray, go into your room,s close the door, and pray to your Father in secret. And your Father, who sees in secret, will reward you.ss7 Whent you pray, do not babble repetitiously like the Gentiles, because they think that by their many words they will be heard.8 Dot not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.

9 So pray this way:s
Our Fathers in heaven, may your name be honored,t

10 may your kingdom come,s
may your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

11 Give us today our daily bread,t

12 and forgive us our debts, as we ourselvest have forgiven our debtors.

13 And do not lead us into temptation,ts but deliver us from the evil one.st
14 “For if you forgive otherst their sins, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.

15 But if you do not forgive others, your Father will not forgive you your sins.

Proper Fasting

16 “Whent you fast, do not look sullen like the hypocrites, for they make their faces unattractivet so that people will see them fasting. I tell you the truth,t they have their reward.17 Whent you fast, put oil on your head and wash your face,

18 so that it will not be obvious to others when you are fasting, but only to your Father who is in secret. And your Father, who sees in secret, will reward you.

Lasting Treasure

19 “Do not accumulate for yourselves treasures on earth, where motht and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal.20 But accumulate for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and thieves do not break in and steal.

21 For where yourt treasures is, there your heart will be also.
22 “The eye is the lamp of the body. If then your eye is healthy,t your whole body will be full of light.

23 But if your eye is diseased,ts your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!

24 “No one can serve two masters, for either he will hates the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despiset the other. You cannot serve God and money.ts

Do Not Worry

25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worryt about your life, what you will eat or drink, or about your body, what you will wear. Isn’t there more to life than food and more to the body than clothing?26 Look at the birds in the sky:t They do not sow, or reap, or gather into barns, yet your heavenly Father feedst them. Aren’t you more valuablet than they are?27 And which of you by worrying can add even one hour to his life?t28 Why do you worry about clothing? Think about how the flowerst of the field grow; they do not workt or spin.29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his glory was clothed like one of these!30 And if this is how God clothes the wild grass,t which is here today and tomorrow is tossed into the fire to heat the oven,ts won’t he clothe you even more,s you people of little faith?31 So then, don’t worry saying, ‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What will we wear?’32 For the unconvertedt pursue these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.33 But above all pursue his kingdomss and righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

34 So then, do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Today has enough trouble of its own.t
