   [continued from previous message]   
      
   7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for   
   they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.   
      
   8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what   
   things ye have need of, before ye ask him.   
      
   9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven,   
   Hallowed be thy name.   
      
   10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.   
      
   11 Give us this day our daily bread.   
      
   12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.   
      
   13 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.   
      
   14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will   
   also forgive you:   
      
   15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father   
   forgive your trespasses.   
      
   16 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.   
      
   17 But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face;   
      
   18 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.   
      
   19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust   
   doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:   
      
   20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor   
   rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:   
      
   21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.   
      
   22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single,   
   thy whole body shall be full of light.   
      
   23 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!   
      
   24 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.   
      
   25 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?   
      
   26 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?   
      
   27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?   
      
   28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the   
   field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:   
      
   29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not   
   arrayed like one of these.   
      
   30 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?   
      
   31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall   
   we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?   
      
   32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly   
   Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.   
      
   33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all   
   these things shall be added unto you.   
      
   34 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.
