New Testament

Matthew 6:11-23 Common English Bible (CEB)

11. Give us the bread we need for today.

12. Forgive us for the ways we have wronged you, just as we also forgive those who have wronged us.

13. And don’t lead us into temptation, but rescue us from the evil one.

14. “If you forgive others their sins, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.

15. But if you don’t forgive others, neither will your Father forgive your sins.

16. “And when you fast, don’t put on a sad face like the hypocrites. They distort their faces so people will know they are fasting. I assure you that they have their reward.

17. When you fast, brush your hair and wash your face.

18. Then you won’t look like you are fasting to people, but only to your Father who is present in that secret place. Your Father who sees in secret will reward you.

19. “Stop collecting treasures for your own benefit on earth, where moth and rust eat them and where thieves break in and steal them.

20. Instead, collect treasures for yourselves in heaven, where moth and rust don’t eat them and where thieves don’t break in and steal them.

21. Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

22. “The eye is the lamp of the body. Therefore, if your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light.

23. But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light in you is darkness, how terrible that darkness will be!
