Tree Of Life Version

Matthew 6:14-26 Tree Of Life Version (TLV)

14. “For if you forgive others their transgressions, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.

15. But if you do not forgive others, neither will your Father forgive your transgressions.

16. “And whenever you fast, do not become sad-faced like the hypocrites, for they neglect their faces to make their fasting evident to men. Amen, I tell you, they have their reward in full!

17. But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face,

18. so that your fasting won’t be evident to men, but to your Father who is in secret. And your Father, who sees in secret, will reward you.

19. “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal.

20. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in or steal.

21. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

22. “The eye is the lamp of the body. Therefore if your eye is good, your whole body will be full of light.

23. But if your eye is bad, your body will be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!

24. “No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will stick by one and look down on the other. You cannot serve God and money.”

25. “So I say to you, do not worry about your life—what you will eat or drink, or about your body, what you will wear. Isn’t life more than food and the body more than clothing?

26. “Look at the birds of the air. They do not sow or reap or gather into barns; yet your Father in heaven feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?
