New Testament

Matthew 6:17-23 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

17. But when you are fasting, put olive oil on your head and wash your face

18. so that you will not be seen by people as fasting, but to your Father who is in secret, and your Father who sees in secret will reward you.

19. “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and consuming insect destroy and where thieves break in and steal,

20. but store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor consuming insect destroy and where thieves do not break in or steal.

21. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

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

23. But if your eye is evil, your whole body will be dark. Therefore if the light in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!
