For, if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Moreover when ye fast, be not as the hypocrites, of a fad countenance : for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to faft. Verily I say unto you, they have their reward. But thou, when thou fafteth, anoint thine head, and That thou appear not unto men to faft, but unto thy Matt. vi. 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, Lay not up for your felves treasures upon earth, where moth and ruft doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal. But lay up for your selves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor ruft doth corrupt, and where thieves do not breaķ through and steal. For For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. The light of the body is the eye : if therefore thine eye. be single, thy whole body fall be full of light. But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body fall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness? No man can serve two masters; for either he will bate the one, and love the other; or else he will bold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye fall eat, or what ye hall drink nor yet for your body, what ye mall put on; is not the life more than meat, and the body than rai ment? Behold the fowls of the air : for they fow not, neiz ther do they reap, nor gather into barns ; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit un to his stature? And why take ye thought for raiment ? Consider the lillies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they Spin. And yet I say unto you, that even Solomon in all bis glory was not arrayed like one of these. Wherefore if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is caft into the oven; shall be not much more clothe you, 0 J'e of little faith? Therefore take #0 thought, saying, What shall we eat ? or what shall we drink? or wherewithal Jhall we be clothed? For after all these things do the Gentiles seek; for Jour heavenly Father knoweth that ye bave need of all these things. But But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righte ousness, and all these things shall be added unto you. Take. therefore no thought for the morrow, for the morrow fall take thought for the things of it self : sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. p. 302, 303, 304 MATT. vii. 1, 2, 3, 4) 5, 6. Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judges ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it mall be meafured to you again. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy bro ther's eye, but confidereft not the beam that is in thine own eye? Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye, and behold a beam is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye, and then malt thou see clearly to caft out the mote out of thy brother's eye. Give not that which is boly unto dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, left they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rent you, P. 333. CHAP. Matt. vii. 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12. Ask and it shall be given you : Seek and ye shall find : Knock, and it hall be opened unto you. For every one that asketh, receiveth : And he that feeketh, findeth : And to him that knocketh, it Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will be give him a stone ? Or if he ask a fishing will be give him a serpent?,: If ye then being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Fa- ther which is in heaven, give good things to them Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men CHA P. XXII. Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way that leadeth to destruction, Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, С НАР: Matt. vi. 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20. Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheeps clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Te fall know them by their fruits : Do men gatber grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit : But a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit : Neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. MAT T. vil. 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27. Not every one that faith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven : But he that doeth the will of my Father, which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? And in thy name have cast out devils? And in thy name done many And then will I profefs unto them, I never knew |
