Matthew 23:5–7

⁴³For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.

^43*For they loued the praise of men, more then the praise of God.

¹TAKE 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.

²Therefore 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.

³But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:

⁴That 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.

⁶But 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.

⁷But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.

⁸Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.

⁹After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

¹⁰Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

¹¹Give us this day our daily bread.

¹²And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

¹³And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

¹⁴For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:

¹⁵But 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.

¹¶ Take heed that yee doe not your almes before men, to bee seene of them: otherwise yee haue no reward ^‖of your father which is in heauen.

²Therefore, ^*when thou doest thine almes, ^‖doe not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites doe, in the Synagogues, and in the streetes, that they may haue glory of men. Uerily, I say vnto you, they haue their reward.

³But when thou doest almes, let not thy left hand know, what thy right doeth:

⁴That thine almes may be in secret: And thy father which seeth in secret, himselfe shall reward thee openly.

⁵¶ And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they loue to pray standing in the Synagogues, and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seene of men. Uerily I say vnto you, they haue their reward.

⁶But thou when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy doore, pray to thy father which is in secret, and thy father which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly.

⁷But when yee pray, vse not vaine ^*repetitions, as the heathen doe. For they thinke that they shall be heard for their much speaking.

⁸Be not yee therefore like vnto them: For your father knoweth what things yee haue neede of, before yee aske him.

⁹After this maner therefore pray yee: ^*Our father which art in heauen, hallowed be thy name.

¹⁰Thy kingdome come. Thy will be done, in earth, as it is in heauen.

¹¹Giue vs this day our daily bread.

¹²And forgiue vs our debts, as we forgiue our debters.

¹³And lead vs not into temptation, but deliuer vs from euill: For thine is the kingdome, and the power, and the glory, for euer, Amen.

^14*For, if yee forgiue men their trespasses, your heauenly father will also forgiue you.

¹⁵But, if yee forgiue not men their trespasses, neither will your father forgiue your trespasses.

¹⁶¶ Moreouer, when yee fast, be not as the Hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appeare vnto men to fast: Uerily I say vnto you, they haue their reward.

⁸And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes.

⁸And thou shalt binde them for a signe vpon thine hand, and they shalbe as frontlets betweene thine eyes.

⁴⁴How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only?

^44*How can ye beleeue, which receiue honour one of another, & seeke not the honour that commeth from God onely?

¹⁵And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.

¹⁵And he said vnto them, Ye are they which iustifie your selues before men, but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed amongst men, is abomination in the sight of God.

³Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.

³ Let nothing bee done through strife, or vaine glory, but in lowlinesse of minde let each esteeme other better then themselues.

³⁸Speak unto the children of Israel, and bid them that they make them fringes in the borders of their garments throughout their generations, and that they put upon the fringe of the borders a ribband of blue:

¹²¶ Thou shalt make thee fringes upon the four quarters of thy vesture, wherewith thou coverest thyself.

¹²¶ Thou shalt make thee ^*fringes vpon the foure ^†quarters of thy vesture, wherewith thou couerest thy selfe.

⁹And it shall be for a sign unto thee upon thine hand, and for a memorial between thine eyes, that the Lord’s law may be in thy mouth: for with a strong hand hath the Lord brought thee out of Egypt.

⁹And it shall bee for a signe vnto thee, vpon thine hand, and for a memoriall betweene thine eyes, that the LORDs law may be in thy mouth: for with a strong hande hath the LORD brought thee out of Egypt.
