Most certainly I tell you, they have received their reward. <span id='3_1'><small><font color=#0000FF>[[Matthew 6:3|3]]</font color></small></span> But when you do merciful deeds, don't let your left hand know what your right hand does, <span id='3_1'><small><font color=#0000FF>[[Matthew 6:4|4]]</font color></small></span> So that your merciful deeds may be in secret, then your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.

Most certainly, I tell you, they have received their reward. <span id='3_1'><small><font color=#0000FF>[[Matthew 6:6|6]]</font color></small></span> But you, when you pray, enter into your inner chamber, and having shut your door, pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly. <span id='3_1'><small><font color=#0000FF>[[Matthew 6:7|7]]</font color></small></span> In praying, don't use vain repetitions, as the Gentiles do; for they think that they will be heard for their much speaking. <span id='3_1'><small><font color=#0000FF>[[Matthew 6:8|8]]</font color></small></span> Therefore don't be like them, for your Father knows what things you need, before you ask him.

You can't serve both God and Money. <span id='3_1'><small><font color=#0000FF>[[Matthew 6:25|25]]</font color></small></span> Therefore, I tell you, don't be anxious for your life: what you will eat, or what you will drink; nor yet for your body, what you will wear. Isn't life more than food, and the body more than clothing? <span id='3_1'><small><font color=#0000FF>[[Matthew 6:26|26]]</font color></small></span> See the birds of the sky, that they don't sow, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns. Your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren't you of much more value than they? <span id='3_1'><small><font color=#0000FF>[[Matthew 6:27|27]]</font color></small></span> "Which of you, by being anxious, can add one moment to his lifespan? <span id='3_1'><small><font color=#0000FF>[[Matthew 6:28|28]]</font color></small></span> Why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow. They don't toil, neither do they spin, <span id='3_1'><small><font color=#0000FF>[[Matthew 6:29|29]]</font color></small></span> Yet I tell you that even Solomon in all his glory was not dressed like one of these. <span id='3_1'><small><font color=#0000FF>[[Matthew 6:30|30]]</font color></small></span> But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today exists, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, won't he much more clothe you, you of little faith? <span id='3_1'><small><font color=#0000FF>[[Matthew 6:31|31]]</font color></small></span> "Therefore don't be anxious, saying, 'What will we eat?', 'What will we drink?' or, 'With what will we be clothed?' <span id='3_1'><small><font color=#0000FF>[[Matthew 6:32|32]]</font color></small></span> For the Gentiles seek after all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.

Each day's own evil is sufficient.
