No man is able to be a servant to two masters: for he will have hate for the one and love for the other, or he will keep to one and have no respect for the other. You may not be servants of God and of wealth.
So that your giving may be in secret; and your Father, who sees in secret, will give you your reward.
See the birds of heaven; they do not put seeds in the earth, they do not get in grain, or put it in store-houses; and your Father in heaven gives them food. Are you not of much more value than they?
And in your prayer do not make use of the same words again and again, as the Gentiles do: for they have the idea that God will give attention to them because of the number of their words.
Give us this day bread for our needs.
Then have no care for tomorrow: tomorrow will take care of itself. Take the trouble of the day as it comes.
And make us free of our debts, as we have made those free who are in debt to us.
So be not like them; because your Father has knowledge of your needs even before you make your requests to him.
Take care not to do your good works before men, to be seen by them; or you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.
And when you make your prayers, be not like the false-hearted men, who take pleasure in getting up and saying their prayers in the Synagogues and at the street turnings so that they may be seen by men. Truly I say to you, They have their reward.

But when you give money, let not your left hand see what your right hand does:
But if your eye is evil, all your body will be dark. If then the light which is in you is dark, how dark it will be!
The light of the body is the eye; if then your eye is true, all your body will be full of light.
But make a store for yourselves in heaven, where it will not be turned to dust and where thieves do not come in to take it away:
And which of you by taking thought is able to make himself a cubit taller?
But I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not clothed like one of these.
And when you go without food, be not sad-faced as the false-hearted are. For they go about with changed looks, so that men may see that they are going without food. Truly I say to you, They have their reward.
So that no one may see that you are going without food, but your Father in secret; and your Father, who sees in secret, will give you your reward.
But when you go without food, put oil on your head and make your face clean;
