Matthew 6

⁵All their deeds are done for men to see. They broaden their phylacteries and lengthen their tassels.

⁴³For they loved praise from men more than praise from God.

¹⁰For God is not unjust. He will not forget your work and the love you have shown for His name as you have ministered to the saints and continue to do so.

²⁸In the same way, on the outside you appear to be righteous, but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness.

²⁹Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You build tombs for the prophets and decorate the monuments of the righteous.

¹⁵So He said to them, “You are the ones who justify yourselves before men, but God knows your hearts. For what is prized among men is detestable before God.

¹²Those who want to make a good impression outwardly are trying to compel you to be circumcised. They only do this to avoid persecution for the cross of Christ.

⁵And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. Truly I tell you, they already have their full reward.

⁶Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously.

⁷Each one should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not out of regret or compulsion. For God loves a cheerful giver.

⁴¹I do not accept glory from men,

¹⁶When you fast, do not be somber like the hypocrites, for they disfigure their faces to show men they are fasting. Truly I tell you, they already have their full reward.

¹⁵Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food.

¹⁶If one of you tells him, “Go in peace; stay warm and well fed,” but does not provide for his physical needs, what good is that?

¹⁶And do not neglect to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.

⁴For no one who wants to be known publicly acts in secret. Since You are doing these things, show Yourself to the world.”

³⁰And their eyes were opened. Jesus warned them sternly, “See that no one finds out about this!”

⁴⁴“See that you don’t tell anyone. But go, show yourself to the priest and present the offering Moses prescribed for your cleansing, as a testimony to them.”

¹⁹He will not quarrel or cry out; no one will hear His voice in the streets.

¹⁸so that your fasting will not be obvious to men, but only to your Father, who is unseen. And your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

⁶But when you pray, go into your inner room, shut your door, and pray to your Father, who is unseen. And your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

¹⁰I, the Lord, search the heart; I examine the mind to reward a man according to his way, by what his deeds deserve.

¹⁴and you will be blessed. Since they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.”

²¹would not God have discovered, since He knows the secrets of the heart?

³⁴Then the King will say to those on His right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.

³⁵For I was hungry and you gave Me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave Me something to drink, I was a stranger and you took Me in,

²So when you give to the needy, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by men. Truly I tell you, they already have their full reward.

¹⁰“Two men went up to the temple to pray. One was a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.

¹¹The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed, ‘God, I thank You that I am not like other men—swindlers, evildoers, adulterers—or even like this tax collector.

¹³But the tax collector stood at a distance, unwilling even to lift up his eyes to heaven. Instead, he beat his breast and said, ‘God, have mercy on me, a sinner!’

²⁵And when you stand to pray, if you hold anything against another, forgive it, so that your Father in heaven will forgive your trespasses as well.”

⁶Seek the Lord while He may be found; call on Him while He is near.

⁷Let the wicked man forsake his way and the unrighteous man his thoughts; let him return to the Lord, that He may have compassion, and to our God, for He will freely pardon.

¹²Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you.

³³So he went in, closed the door behind the two of them, and prayed to the Lord.

²³After He had dismissed them, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray. When evening came, He was there alone,

²⁴Even before they call, I will answer, and while they are still speaking, I will hear.

⁴⁰Then Peter sent them all out of the room. He knelt down and prayed, and turning toward her body, he said, “Tabitha, get up!” She opened her eyes, and seeing Peter, she sat up.

¹⁵The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and His ears are inclined to their cry.

²⁰Go, my people, enter your rooms and shut your doors behind you. Hide yourselves a little while until the wrath has passed.

²Do not be quick to speak, and do not be hasty in your heart to utter a word before God. For God is in heaven and you are on earth. So let your words be few.

³As a dream comes through many cares, so the speech of a fool comes with many words.

⁷For as many dreams bring futility, so do many words. Therefore, fear God.

²⁶And they took the bull that was given them, prepared it, and called on the name of Baal from morning until noon, shouting, “O Baal, answer us!” But there was no sound, and no one answered as they leaped around the altar they had made.

²⁷At noon Elijah began to taunt them, saying, “Shout louder, for he is a god! Perhaps he is deep in thought, or occupied, or on a journey. Perhaps he is sleeping and must be awakened!”

³²For the Gentiles strive after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.

⁴⁴So He left them and went away once more and prayed a third time, saying the same thing.

¹⁸Incline Your ear, O my God, and hear; open Your eyes and see the desolation of the city that bears Your name. For we are not presenting our petitions before You because of our righteous acts, but because of Your great compassion.

¹⁹O Lord, listen! O Lord, forgive! O Lord, hear and act! For Your sake, O my God, do not delay, because Your city and Your people bear Your name.”

³²For the Gentiles strive after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.

³⁰For the Gentiles of the world strive after all these things, and your Father knows that you need them.

⁶Be anxious for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

²³In that day you will no longer ask Me anything. Truly, truly, I tell you, whatever you ask the Father in My name, He will give you.

²⁴Until now you have not asked for anything in My name. Ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be complete.

⁹O Lord, my every desire is before You; my groaning is not hidden from You.

¹⁷Hide not Your face from Your servant, for I am in distress. Answer me quickly!

¹⁸Draw near to my soul and redeem me; ransom me because of my foes.

¹One day in a place where Jesus had just finished praying, one of His disciples requested, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.”

²So Jesus told them, “When you pray, say: ‘Father, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come.

¹¹“Worthy are You, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for You created all things; by Your will they exist and were created.”

¹⁵For you did not receive a spirit of slavery that returns you to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption to sonship, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!”

⁸But now, O Lord, You are our Father; we are the clay, and You are the potter; we are all the work of Your hand.

⁹He has sent redemption to His people; He has ordained His covenant forever; holy and awesome is His name.

²³I will show the holiness of My great name, which has been profaned among the nations—the name you have profaned among them. Then the nations will know that I am the Lord, declares the Lord God, when I show My holiness in you before their eyes.

³⁶You need to persevere, so that after you have done the will of God, you will receive what He has promised.

⁴²A second time He went away and prayed, “My Father, if this cup cannot pass unless I drink it, may Your will be done.”

⁵⁰For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother.”

³⁴Jesus explained, “My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me and to finish His work.

¹⁸Give thanks in every circumstance, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

⁴⁰For it is My Father’s will that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in Him shall have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.”

⁸Keep falsehood and deceitful words far from me. Give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with the bread that is my portion.

³Give us each day our daily bread.

⁴But Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”

¹⁰Young lions go lacking and hungry, but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing.

³¹Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, as it is written: ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’”

³²Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I tell you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven, but it is My Father who gives you the true bread from heaven.

¹⁸Surely the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear Him, on those whose hope is in His loving devotion

¹⁹to deliver them from death and keep them alive in famine.

³²Be kind and tenderhearted to one another, forgiving each other just as in Christ God forgave you.

²⁵And when you stand to pray, if you hold anything against another, forgive it, so that your Father in heaven will forgive your trespasses as well.”

⁷In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace

²¹Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother who sins against me? Up to seven times?”

²²Jesus answered, “I tell you, not just seven times, but seventy-seven times!

¹³Bear with one another and forgive any complaint you may have against someone else. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.

⁷But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.

⁸If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

¹³No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, He will also provide an escape, so that you can stand up under it.

¹⁵I am not asking that You take them out of the world, but that You keep them from the evil one.

¹⁴“Sir,” I answered, “you know.” So he replied, “These are the ones who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

¹⁵For this reason, they are before the throne of God and serve Him day and night in His temple; and the One seated on the throne will spread His tabernacle over them.

⁴¹“Watch and pray so that you will not enter into temptation. For the spirit is willing, but the body is weak.”

³But the Lord is faithful, and He will strengthen you and guard you from the evil one.

¹After this I heard a sound like the roar of a great multitude in heaven, shouting: “Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God!

³²Be kind and tenderhearted to one another, forgiving each other just as in Christ God forgave you.

²⁵And when you stand to pray, if you hold anything against another, forgive it, so that your Father in heaven will forgive your trespasses as well.”

¹³Bear with one another and forgive any complaint you may have against someone else. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.

²For with the same judgment you pronounce, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

¹³For judgment without mercy will be shown to anyone who has not been merciful. Mercy triumphs over judgment.

²¹Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother who sins against me? Up to seven times?”

²²Jesus answered, “I tell you, not just seven times, but seventy-seven times!

³⁵That is how My heavenly Father will treat each of you unless you forgive your brother from your heart.”

³“Why have we fasted, and You have not seen? Why have we humbled ourselves, and You have not noticed?” “Behold, on the day of your fast, you do as you please, and you oppress all your workers.

⁴You fast with contention and strife to strike viciously with your fist. You cannot fast as you do today and have your voice be heard on high.

¹⁴Then John’s disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Why is it that we and the Pharisees fast so often, but Your disciples do not fast?”

¹⁵Jesus replied, “How can the guests of the bridegroom mourn while He is with them? But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them; then they will fast.

⁴When I heard these words, I sat down and wept. I mourned for days, fasting and praying before the God of heaven.

³So I turned my attention to the Lord God to seek Him by prayer and petition, with fasting, sackcloth, and ashes.

¹⁰I wept and fasted, but it brought me reproach.

¹²I fast twice a week and pay tithes of all that I acquire.’

³Therefore wash yourself, put on perfume, and wear your best clothes. Go down to the threshing floor, but do not let the man know you are there until he has finished eating and drinking.

⁸Let your garments always be white, and never spare the oil for your head.

²⁰Then David got up from the ground, washed and anointed himself, changed his clothes, and went into the house of the Lord and worshiped. Then he went to his own house, and at his request they set food before him, and he ate.

²In those days I, Daniel, was mourning for three full weeks.

³I ate no rich food, no meat or wine entered my mouth, and I did not anoint myself with oil until the three weeks were completed.

²So Joab sent to Tekoa to bring a wise woman from there. He told her, “Please pretend to be a mourner; put on clothes for mourning and do not anoint yourself with oil. Act like a woman who has mourned for the dead a long time.

⁶But when you pray, go into your inner room, shut your door, and pray to your Father, who is unseen. And your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

⁴so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

¹⁸For it is not the one who commends himself who is approved, but the one whom the Lord commends.

⁹So we aspire to please Him, whether we are at home in this body or away from it.

¹³Submit yourselves for the Lord’s sake to every human institution, whether to the king as the supreme authority,

²²Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything, not only to please them while they are watching, but with sincerity of heart and fear of the Lord.

²³Whatever you do, work at it with your whole being, as for the Lord and not for men,

⁵Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, for God has said: “Never will I leave you, never will I forsake you.”

¹⁵Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

¹⁶For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh, the desires of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not from the Father but from the world.

²¹This is how it will be for anyone who stores up treasure for himself but is not rich toward God.”

⁴Do not wear yourself out to get rich; be wise enough to restrain yourself.

⁵When you glance at wealth, it disappears, for it makes wings for itself and flies like an eagle to the sky.

¹Come now, you who are rich, weep and wail over the misery to come upon you.

²Your riches have rotted and moths have eaten your clothes.

⁴Riches are worthless in the day of wrath, but righteousness brings deliverance from death.

³³Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide yourselves with purses that will not wear out, an inexhaustible treasure in heaven, where no thief approaches and no moth destroys.

²¹Jesus told him, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow Me.”

¹⁹treasuring up for themselves a firm foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of that which is truly life.

⁵Listen, my beloved brothers: Has not God chosen the poor of this world to be rich in faith and to inherit the kingdom He promised those who love Him?

²²On hearing this, Jesus told him, “You still lack one thing: Sell everything you own and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow Me.”

²⁶He valued disgrace for Christ above the treasures of Egypt, for he was looking ahead to his reward.

¹Therefore, since you have been raised with Christ, strive for the things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.

²Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.

³⁴For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

¹⁸So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

²³Guard your heart with all diligence, for from it flow springs of life.

⁶He will be the sure foundation for your times, a storehouse of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge. The fear of the Lord is Zion’s treasure.

¹²See to it, brothers, that none of you has a wicked heart of unbelief that turns away from the living God.

³⁴Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eyes are good, your whole body also is full of light. But when they are bad, your body is full of darkness.

³⁵Be careful, then, that the light within you is not darkness.

³I am afraid, however, that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent’s cunning, your minds may be led astray from your simple and pure devotion to Christ.

²²Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything, not only to please them while they are watching, but with sincerity of heart and fear of the Lord.

¹¹But whoever hates his brother is in the darkness and walks in the darkness. He does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.

²²The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are good, your whole body will be full of light.

²⁰Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who turn darkness to light and light to darkness, who replace bitter with sweet and sweet with bitter.

²¹Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes and clever in their own sight.

²²“For My people are fools; they have not known Me. They are foolish children, without understanding. They are skilled in doing evil, but they know not how to do good.”

¹²Do you see a man who is wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him.

¹⁸Let no one deceive himself. If any of you thinks he is wise in this age, he should become a fool, so that he may become wise.

¹⁹For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God’s sight. As it is written: “He catches the wise in their craftiness.”

¹⁵Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

¹⁶For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh, the desires of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not from the Father but from the world.

¹³No servant can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.”

⁴You adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Therefore, whoever chooses to be a friend of the world renders himself an enemy of God.

⁹Those who want to be rich, however, fall into temptation and become ensnared by many foolish and harmful desires that plunge them into ruin and destruction.

¹⁰For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. By craving it, some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many sorrows.

¹⁵But if it is unpleasing in your sight to serve the Lord, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your fathers served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living. As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord!”

¹⁰Am I now seeking the approval of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ.

⁶Be anxious for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

³²He who did not spare His own Son but gave Him up for us all, how will He not also, along with Him, freely give us all things?

⁷Cast all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you.

²²Cast your burden upon the Lord and He will sustain you; He will never let the righteous be shaken.

²²Then Jesus said to His disciples, “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat, or about your body, what you will wear.

²³For life is more than food, and the body more than clothes.

³¹Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’

²⁹Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from the will of your Father.

³⁰And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered.

⁹He provides food for the animals, and for the young ravens when they call.

²⁴Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storehouse or barn; yet God feeds them. How much more valuable you are than the birds!

²⁵Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?

⁴¹Who provides food for the raven when its young cry out to God as they wander about for lack of food?

¹⁵The eyes of all look to You, and You give them their food in season.

¹⁶You open Your hand and satisfy the desire of every living thing.

²⁷All creatures look to You to give them their food in due season.

²⁸When You give it to them, they gather it up; when You open Your hand, they are satisfied with good things.

²⁵Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?

²⁶So if you cannot do such a small thing, why do you worry about the rest?

¹⁴I know that everything God does endures forever; nothing can be added to it or taken from it. God does it so that they should fear Him.

³⁶Nor should you swear by your head, for you cannot make a single hair white or black.

⁵You, indeed, have made my days as handbreadths, and my lifetime as nothing before You. Truly each man at his best exists as but a breath. Selah

⁶Surely every man goes about like a phantom; surely he bustles in vain; he heaps up riches not knowing who will haul them away.

¹⁸But in fact, God has arranged the members of the body, every one of them, according to His design.

²⁵Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?

⁶Be anxious for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

²⁷Consider how the lilies grow: They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his glory was adorned like one of these.

³⁵Then Jesus asked them, “When I sent you out without purse or bag or sandals, did you lack anything?” “Nothing,” they answered.

³⁶“Now, however,” He told them, “the one with a purse should take it, and likewise a bag; and the one without a sword should sell his cloak and buy one.

³¹Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’

¹¹John replied, “Whoever has two tunics should share with him who has none, and whoever has food should do the same.”

²⁰All King Solomon’s drinking cups were gold, and all the utensils of the House of the Forest of Lebanon were pure gold. There was no silver, because it was accounted as nothing in the days of Solomon.

²¹For the king had the ships of Tarshish that went with Hiram’s servants, and once every three years the ships of Tarshish would arrive bearing gold, silver, ivory, apes, and peacocks.

⁴the food at his table, the seating of his servants, the service and attire of his attendants, the attire of his cupbearers, and the burnt offerings he presented at the house of the Lord, it took her breath away.

⁵She said to the king, “The report I heard in my own country about your words and wisdom is true.

⁹Likewise, I want the women to adorn themselves with respectable apparel, with modesty, and with self-control, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or expensive clothes,

¹⁰but with good deeds, as is proper for women who profess to worship God.

⁴When the queen of Sheba saw all the wisdom of Solomon, the palace he had built,

⁵the food at his table, the seating of his servants, the service and attire of his attendants, his cupbearers, and the burnt offerings he presented at the house of the Lord, it took her breath away.

²when they see your pure and reverent demeanor.

³Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair or gold jewelry or fine clothes,

²⁸If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, how much more will He clothe you, O you of little faith!

³¹Immediately Jesus reached out His hand and took hold of Peter. “You of little faith,” He said, “why did you doubt?”

²⁴For, “All flesh is like grass, and all its glory like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall,

²⁶“You of little faith,” Jesus replied, “why are you so afraid?” Then He got up and rebuked the winds and the sea, and it was perfectly calm.

⁸Aware of their conversation, Jesus said, “You of little faith, why are you debating among yourselves about having no bread?

¹⁰But the one who is rich should exult in his low position, because he will pass away like a flower of the field.

¹¹For the sun rises with scorching heat and withers the plant; its flower falls and its beauty is lost. So too, the rich man will fade away in the midst of his pursuits.

⁷Cast all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you.

²⁹And do not be concerned about what you will eat or drink. Do not worry about it.

⁴But Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”

²²Cast your burden upon the Lord and He will sustain you; He will never let the righteous be shaken.

³³The disciples replied, “Where in this desolate place could we find enough bread to feed such a large crowd?”

⁹Amaziah asked the man of God, “What should I do about the hundred talents I have given to the troops of Israel?” And the man of God replied, “The Lord is able to give you much more than this.”

⁸Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.

³⁰For the Gentiles of the world strive after all these things, and your Father knows that you need them.

¹⁷So I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you must no longer walk as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking.

¹¹What father among you, if his son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead?

¹²Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion?

¹⁴from such men, O Lord, by Your hand—from men of the world whose portion is in this life. May You fill the bellies of Your treasured ones and satisfy their sons, so they leave their abundance to their children.

²⁵But Jesus called them aside and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their superiors exercise authority over them.

²⁶It shall not be this way among you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant,

³¹But seek His kingdom, and these things will be added unto you.

⁶Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.

²⁷Do not work for food that perishes, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For on Him God the Father has placed His seal of approval.”

⁹Fear the Lord, you His saints, for those who fear Him lack nothing.

¹⁰Young lions go lacking and hungry, but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing.

¹¹For the Lord God is a sun and a shield; the Lord gives grace and glory; He withholds no good thing from those who walk with integrity.

¹²O Lord of Hosts, how blessed is the man who trusts in You!

²⁹“Truly I tell you,” Jesus replied, “no one who has left home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for My sake and for the gospel

³⁰will fail to receive a hundredfold in the present age—houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and fields, along with persecutions—and in the age to come, eternal life.

²⁵Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?

²⁷Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled; do not be afraid.

⁵Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, for God has said: “Never will I leave you, never will I forsake you.”

⁶So we say with confidence: “The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?”

³³I have told you these things so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take courage; I have overcome the world!”

³Give us each day our daily bread.

²³They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness!
