New Testament

Matthew 6:15-23 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

15. But if you don't forgive others, your Father will not forgive your sins.

16. When you go without eating, don't try to look gloomy as those show-offs do when they go without eating. I can assure you that they already have their reward.

17. Instead, comb your hair and wash your face.

18. Then others won't know that you are going without eating. But your Father sees what is done in private, and he will reward you.

19. Don't store up treasures on earth! Moths and rust can destroy them, and thieves can break in and steal them.

20. Instead, store up your treasures in heaven, where moths and rust cannot destroy them, and thieves cannot break in and steal them.

21. Your heart will always be where your treasure is.

22. Your eyes are like a window for your body. When they are good, you have all the light you need.

23. But when your eyes are bad, everything is dark. If the light inside you is dark, you are in the dark.
