<center><small>''The Sermon on the Mount, continued.<br/>Of alms, prayer, forgiveness.<br/>Laying up treasure in heaven.<br/>27 A.D.''</small></center>
'''1''' <span style="color:#ff0000">Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.</span>
'''2''' <span style="color:#ff0000">Therefore when thou doest ''thine'' alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.</span>
'''3''' <span style="color:#ff0000">But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:</span>
'''4''' <span style="color:#ff0000">That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.</span>
'''5''' <span style="color:#ff0000">And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites ''are'': for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.</span>
'''6''' <span style="color:#ff0000">But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.</span>
'''7''' <span style="color:#ff0000">But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen ''do'': for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.</span>
'''8''' <span style="color:#ff0000">Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.</span>
'''9''' <span style="color:#ff0000">After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.</span>
'''10''' <span style="color:#ff0000">Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as ''it is'' in heaven.</span>
'''11''' <span style="color:#ff0000">Give us this day our daily bread.</span>
'''12''' <span style="color:#ff0000">And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.</span>
'''13''' <span style="color:#ff0000">And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.</span>
'''14''' <span style="color:#ff0000">For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:</span>
'''15''' <span style="color:#ff0000">But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.</span>
'''16''' <span style="color:#ff0000">Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.</span>
'''17''' <span style="color:#ff0000">But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face;</span>
'''18''' <span style="color:#ff0000">That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly.</span>
'''19''' <span style="color:#ff0000">Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:</span>
'''20''' <span style="color:#ff0000">But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:</span>
'''21''' <span style="color:#ff0000">For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.</span>
'''22''' <span style="color:#ff0000">The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.</span>
'''23''' <span style="color:#ff0000">But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!</span>
'''24''' <span style="color:#ff0000">No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.</span>
'''25''' <span style="color:#ff0000">Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?</span>
'''26''' <span style="color:#ff0000">Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?</span>
'''27''' <span style="color:#ff0000">Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?</span>
'''28''' <span style="color:#ff0000">And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:</span>
'''29''' <span style="color:#ff0000">And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.</span>
'''30''' <span style="color:#ff0000">Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, ''shall he'' not much more ''clothe'' you, O ye of little faith?</span>
'''31''' <span style="color:#ff0000">Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?</span>
'''32''' <span style="color:#ff0000">(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.</span>
'''33''' <span style="color:#ff0000">But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.</span>
'''34''' <span style="color:#ff0000">Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.</span>
