When then you give money to the poor, do not make a noise about it, as the false-hearted men do in the Synagogues and in the streets, so that they may have glory from men. Truly, I say to you, They have their reward.

So that your giving may be in secret; and your Father, who sees in secret, will give you your reward.

Matthew 6:5

But when you go without food, put oil on your head and make your face clean;

Matthew 6:18

Matthew 6:19

Make no store of wealth for yourselves on earth, where it may be turned to dust by worms and weather, and where thieves may come in by force and take it away.

Matthew 6:22

The light of the body is the eye; if then your eye is true, all your body will be full of light.

Matthew 6:24

No man is able to be a servant to two masters: for he will have hate for the one and love for the other, or he will keep to one and have no respect for the other. You may not be servants of God and of wealth.

Matthew 6:25

So I say to you, Take no thought for your life, about food or drink, or about clothing for your body. Is not life more than food, and the body more than its clothing?

Matthew 6:26

See the birds of heaven; they do not put seeds in the earth, they do not get in grain, or put it in store-houses; and your Father in heaven gives them food. Are you not of much more value than they?

Matthew 6:27

And which of you by taking thought is able to make himself a cubit taller?

Matthew 6:28

And why are you troubled about clothing? See the flowers of the field, how they come up; they do no work, they make no thread:



Matthew 6:29

But I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not clothed like one of these.

Matthew 6:30

But if God gives such clothing to the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is put into the oven, will he not much more give you clothing, O you of little faith?

Matthew 6:31

Then do not be full of care, saying, What are we to have for food or drink? or, With what may we be clothed?

Matthew 6:32

Because the Gentiles go in search of all these things: for your Father in heaven has knowledge that you have need of all these things:

Matthew 6:33

But let your first care be for his kingdom and his righteousness; and all these other things will be given to you in addition.

Matthew 6:34

Then have no care for tomorrow: tomorrow will take care of itself. Take the trouble of the day as it comes.
