Matthew 6:1-21 ▼

1 Take hede to youre almes. That ye geve it not in the syght of men to the intent that ye wolde be sene of them. Or els ye get no rewarde of youre father which is in heve.

2 Whe soever therfore thou gevest thine almes thou shalt not make a tropet to be blowe before the as ye ypocrites do in the synagogis and in the stretis for to be preysed of men. Verely I say vnto you they have their rewarde.

3 But whe thou doest thine almes let not thy lyfte had knowe what thy righte had doth

4 yt thine almes may be secret: and thy father which seith in secret shall rewarde ye opely.

5 And when thou prayest thou shalt not be as ye ypocrytes are. For they love to stond and praye in the synagoges and in the corners of ye stretes because they wolde be sene of men. Verely I saye vnto you they haue their rewarde.

6 But when thou prayest entre into thy chamber and shut thy dore to the and praye to thy father which ys in secrete: and thy father which seith in secret shall rewarde the openly.

7 And whe ye praye bable not moche as the hethe do: for they thincke that they shalbe herde for their moche bablynges sake.

8 Be ye not lyke them therfore. For youre father knoweth wherof ye haue neade before ye axe of him.

9 After thys maner therfore praye ye. O oure father which arte in heve halowed be thy name.

10 Let thy kyngdome come. Thy wyll be fulfilled as well in erth as it ys in heven.

11 Geve vs this daye oure dayly breede.

12 And forgeve vs oure treaspases eve as we forgeve oure trespacers.

13 And leade vs not into teptacion: but delyver vs fro evell. For thyne is ye kyngedome and ye power and ye glorye for ever. Amen.

14 For and yf ye shall forgeve other men their treaspases youre hevenly father shall also forgeve you.

15 But and ye wyll not forgeve men their trespases nomore shall youre father forgeve youre treaspases.

16 Moreoure when ye faste be not sad as ye ypocrytes are. For they disfigure their faces that they myght be sene of me how they faste. Verely I say vnto you they have their rewarde.

17 But thou whe thou fastest annoynte thyne heed and washe thy face

18 that it appere not vnto men howe that thou fastest: but vnto thy father which is in secrete: and thy father which seeth in secret shall rewarde the openly.

19 Se that ye gaddre you not treasure vpon ye erth where rust and mothes corrupte and where theves breake through and steale.

20 But gaddre ye treasure togeder in heve where nether rust nor mothes corrupte and where theves nether breake vp nor yet steale.

21 For where soever youre treasure ys there will youre hertes be also.
