1 Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven. 2 Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. 3 But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth: 4 That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.
5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. 6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. 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.
1 "你们小心, 不要在众人面前行你们的义, 让他们看见; 如果这样, 就得不到你们天父的赏赐。
2 因此你施舍的时候, 不可到处张扬, 好像伪君子在会堂和街上所作的一样, 以博取众人的称赞。我实在告诉你们, 他们已经得了他们的赏赐。
3 你施舍的时候, 不要让左手知道右手所作的,
4 好使你的施舍是在隐密中行的。你父在隐密中察看, 必定报答你。
5 "你们祈祷的时候, 不可像伪君子; 他们喜欢在会堂和路口站着祈祷, 好让人看见。我实在告诉你们, 他们已经得了他们的赏赐。
6 但你祈祷的时候, 要进到密室里去, 关上门, 向在隐密中的父祈祷。你父在隐密中察看, 必定报答你。
7 你们祈祷的时候, 不可重复无意义的话, 像教外人一样, 他们以为话多了就蒙垂听。
8 你们不可像他们, 因为在你们祈求以先, 你们的父已经知道你们的需要了。
9 所以你们要这样祈祷: ‘我们在天上的父, 愿你的名被尊为圣,
10 愿你的国降临, 愿你的旨意成就在地上, 如同在天上一样。
11 我们每天所需的食物, 求你今天赐给我们;
12 赦免我们的罪, 好像我们饶恕了得罪我们的人;
13 不要让我们陷入试探, 救我们脱离那恶者。’(有些后期抄本在此有"因为国度、权柄、荣耀, 全是你的, 直到永远。阿们"一句)
14 如果你们饶恕别人的过犯, 你们的天父也必饶恕你们。
15 如果你们不饶恕别人, 你们的父也必不饶恕你们的过犯。
16 "你们禁食的时候, 不可像伪君子那样愁眉苦脸, 他们装成难看的样子, 叫人看出他们在禁食。我实在告诉你们, 他们已经得了他们的赏赐。
17 可是你禁食的时候, 要梳头洗脸,
18 不要叫人看出你在禁食, 只让在隐密中的父看见。你父在隐密中察看, 必定报答你。
19 "不可为自己在地上积聚财宝, 因为地上有虫蛀, 有锈侵蚀, 也有贼挖洞来偷。
20 要为自己积聚财宝在天上, 那里没有虫蛀锈蚀, 也没有贼挖洞来偷。
21 你的财宝在哪里, 你的心也在哪里。
22 "眼睛就是身体的灯。如果你的眼睛健全, 全身就都明亮;
23 如果你的眼睛有毛病, 全身就都黑暗。如果你里面的光变成黑暗, 这是多么的黑暗!
24 "一个人不能服事两个主人; 他若不是恨这个爱那个, 就是忠于这个轻视那个。你们不能服事 神, 又服事金钱。
25 所以我告诉你们, 不要为生命忧虑吃什么喝什么, 也不要为身体忧虑穿什么。难道生命不比食物重要吗?身体不比衣服重要吗?
26 你们看天空的飞鸟: 它们不撒种, 不收割, 也不收进仓里, 你们的天父尚且养活它们; 难道你们不比它们更宝贵吗?
27 你们中间谁能用忧虑使自己的寿命延长一刻呢?
28 何必为衣服忧虑呢?试想田野的百合花怎样生长, 它们不劳苦, 也不纺织。
29 但我告诉你们, 就是所罗门最威荣的时候所穿的, 也比不上这花中的一朵。
30 田野的草, 今天还在, 明天就投进炉里, 神尚且这样妆扮它们; 小信的人哪, 何况你们呢?
31 所以不要忧虑, 说: ‘我们该吃什么?喝什么?穿什么?’
32 这些都是教外人所寻求的, 你们的天父原知道你们需要这一切。
33 你们要先求他的国和他的义, 这一切都必加给你们。
34 所以不要为明天忧虑, 因为明天自有明天的忧虑, 一天的难处一天当就够了。"
