1 Take heed

ℵ ⟨But take heed⟩

that ye do not your alms

ℵB ⟨righteousness⟩

before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.

1 Attendite ne justitiam vestram faciatis coram hominibus, ut videamini ab eis: alioquin mercedem non habebitis apud Patrem vestrum qui in cælis est.

2 Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily

ℵ* ⟨Verily, verily⟩

I say unto you, They have their reward.

2 Cum ergo facis eleemosynam, noli tuba canere ante te, sicut hypocritæ faciunt in synagogis, et in vicis, ut honorificentur ab hominibus. Amen dico vobis, receperunt mercedem suam.

3 But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:

3 Te autem faciente eleemosynam, nesciat sinistra tua quid faciat dextera tua:

4 That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself

ℵB omit

shall reward thee openly

ℵB omit

.

4 ut sit eleemosyna tua in abscondito, et Pater tuus, qui videt in abscondito, reddet tibi.

5 ¶ And when thou prayest, thou shalt

ℵB ⟨ye pray, ye shall⟩

not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

5 ¶ Et cum oratis, non eritis sicut hypocritæ qui amant in synagogis et in angulis platearum stantes orare, ut videantur ab hominibus: amen dico vobis, receperunt mercedem suam.

6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly

ℵB omit

.

6 Tu autem cum oraveris, intra in cubiculum tuum, et clauso ostio, ora Patrem tuum in abscondito: et Pater tuus, qui videt in abscondito, reddet tibi.

7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen

B ⟨hypocrites⟩

do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.

7 Orantes autem, nolite multum loqui, sicut ethnici, putant enim quod in multiloquio suo exaudiantur.

8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father

ℵ*B ⟨God your Father⟩

knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.

8 Nolite ergo assimilari eis: scit enim Pater vester, quid opus sit vobis, antequam petatis eum.

9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

9 Sic ergo vos orabitis: Pater noster, qui es in cælis,
sanctificetur nomen tuum.

10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

10 Adveniat regnum tuum;
fiat voluntas tua, sicut in cælo et in terra.

11 Give us this day our daily bread.

11 Panem nostrum supersubstantialem da nobis hodie,

12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive

ℵ*B ⟨have forgiven⟩

our debtors.

12 et dimitte nobis debita nostra,
sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris.

13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

ℵB omit

13 Et ne nos inducas in tentationem,
sed libera nos a malo. Amen.

14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:

14 ¶ Si enim dimiseritis hominibus peccata eorum: dimittet et vobis Pater vester cælestis delicta vestra.

15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses

ℵ omit

, neither will your Father forgive

ℵ ⟨the Father forgive you⟩

your trespasses.

15 Si autem non dimiseritis hominibus: nec Pater vester dimittet vobis peccata vestra.

16 ¶ Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the

ℵ* omit

hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces

ℵ* ⟨face⟩

, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily

ℵ* ⟨For verily⟩

I say unto you, They have their reward.

16 ¶ Cum autem jejunatis, nolite fieri sicut hypocritæ, tristes. Exterminant enim facies suas, ut appareant hominibus jejunantes. Amen dico vobis, quia receperunt mercedem suam.

17 But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face;

17 Tu autem, cum jejunas, unge caput tuum, et faciem tuam lava,

18 That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy

ℵ* ⟨the⟩

Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly

ℵB omit

.

18 ne videaris hominibus jejunans, sed Patri tuo, qui est in abscondito: et Pater tuus, qui videt in abscondito, reddet tibi.

19 ¶ Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:

19 ¶ Nolite thesaurizare vobis thesauros in terra: ubi ærugo, et tinea demolitur: et ubi fures effodiunt, et furantur.

20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor

ℵ ⟨and⟩

steal:

20 Thesaurizate autem vobis thesauros in cælo, ubi neque ærugo, neque tinea demolitur, et ubi fures non effodiunt, nec furantur.

21 For where your

ℵB ⟨thy⟩

treasure is, there will your

ℵB ⟨thine⟩

heart be also

B omit

.

21 Ubi enim est thesaurus tuus, ibi est et cor tuum.

22 The light of the body is the

B ⟨thine⟩

eye: if therefore

ℵ omit

thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.

22 Lucerna corporis tui est oculus tuus. Si oculus tuus fuerit simplex, totum corpus tuum lucidum erit.

23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!

23 Si autem oculus tuus fuerit nequam, totum corpus tuum tenebrosum erit. Si ergo lumen, quod in te est, tenebræ sunt: ipsæ tenebræ quantæ erunt?

24 ¶ No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

24 Nemo potest duobus dominis servire: aut enim unum odio habebit, et alterum diliget: aut unum sustinebit, et alterum contemnet. Non potestis Deo servire et mammonæ.

25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink

ℵ omit

; nor yet for your

ℵ* ⟨the⟩

body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?

25 Ideo dico vobis, ne solliciti sitis animæ vestræ quid manducetis, neque corpori vestro quid induamini. Nonne anima plus est quam esca, et corpus plus quam vestimentum?

26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?

26 Respicite volatilia cæli, quoniam non serunt, neque metunt, neque congregant in horrea: et Pater vester cælestis pascit illa. Nonne vos magis pluris estis illis?

27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?

27 Quis autem vestrum cogitans potest adjicere ad staturam suam cubitum unum?

28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:

28 Et de vestimento quid solliciti estis? Considerate lilia agri quomodo crescunt: non laborant, neque nent.

29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

29 Dico autem vobis, quoniam nec Salomon in omni gloria sua coopertus est sicut unum ex istis.

30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?

30 Si autem fœnum agri, quod hodie est, et cras in clibanum mittitur, Deus sic vestit, quanto magis vos modicæ fidei?

31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?

31 Nolite ergo solliciti esse, dicentes: Quid manducabimus, aut quid bibemus, aut quo operiemur?

32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly

ℵ* ⟨God your⟩

Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.

32 hæc enim omnia gentes inquirunt. Scit enim Pater vester, quia his omnibus indigetis.

33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness

ℵ ⟨his kingdom and righteousness⟩; B ⟨his righteousness and kingdom⟩

; and all these things shall be added unto you.

33 Quærite ergo primum regnum Dei, et justitiam ejus: et hæc omnia adjicientur vobis.

34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of

ℵB omit

itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

34 Nolite ergo solliciti esse in crastinum. Crastinus enim dies sollicitus erit sibi ipsi: sufficit diei malitia sua.
