Matthew 6:13-26 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

13. and lead us not into temptation, but save us from evil.

14. For if ye forgive men their offences, your heavenly Father also will forgive you yours,

15. but if ye do not forgive men their offences, neither will your Father forgive your offences.

16. And when ye fast, be not as the hypocrites, downcast in countenance; for they disfigure their faces, so that they may appear fasting to men: verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

17. But thou, when fasting, anoint thy head and wash thy face,

18. so that thou mayest not appear fasting unto men, but to thy Father who is in secret; and thy Father who sees in secret shall render it to thee.

19. Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon the earth, where moth and rust spoils, and where thieves dig through and steal;

20. but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust spoils, and where thieves do not dig through nor steal;

21. for where thy treasure is, there will be also thy heart.

22. The lamp of the body is the eye; if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body will be light:

23. but if thine eye be wicked, thy whole body will be dark. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great the darkness!

24. No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and will love the other, or he will hold to the one and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

25. For this cause I say unto you, Do not be careful about your life, what ye should eat and what ye should drink; nor for your body what ye should put on. Is not the life more than food, and the body than raiment?

26. Look at the birds of the heaven, that they sow not, nor reap, nor gather into granaries, and your heavenly Father nourishes them. Are ye not much more excellent than they?
