Matthew 6 - Douy-Rheims Bible Challoner Revision

¹ Thus therefore shall you pray: Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.

² 0 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

³ 1 Give us this day our supersubstantial bread.

⁴ 2 And forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors.

⁵ 3 And lead us not into temptation. But deliver us from evil. Amen.

⁶ 4 For if you will forgive men their offences, your heavenly Father will forgive you also your offences.

⁷ 5 But if you will not forgive men, neither will your Father forgive you your offences.

⁸ 6 And when you fast, be not as the hypocrites, sad. For they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Amen I say to you, they have received their reward.

⁹ 7 But thou, when thou fastest anoint thy head, and wash thy face;

¹⁰ 8 That thou appear not to men to fast, but to thy Father who is in secret: and thy Father who seeth in secret, will repay thee.

¹¹ 9 Lay not up to yourselves treasures on earth: where the rust, and moth consume, and where thieves break through and steal.

¹² 0 But lay up to yourselves treasures in heaven: where neither the rust nor moth doth consume, and where thieves do not break through, nor steal.

¹³ 1 For where thy treasure is, there is thy heart also.

¹⁴ 2 The light of thy body is thy eye. If thy eye be single, thy whole body shall be lightsome.

¹⁵ 3 But if thy eye be evil thy whole body shall be darksome. If then the light that is in thee, be darkness: the darkness itself how great shall it be!

¹⁶ 4 No man can serve two masters. For either he will hate the one, and love the other: or he will sustain the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.

¹⁷ 5 Therefore I say to you, be not solicitous for your life, what you shall eat, nor for your body, what you shall put on. Is not the life more than the meat: and the body more than the raiment?

¹⁸ 6 Behold the birds of the air, for they neither sow, nor do they reap, nor gather into barns: and your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are not you of much more value than they?

¹⁹ 7 And which of you by taking thought, can add to his stature by one cubit?

²⁰ 8 And for raiment why are you solicitous? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they labour not, neither do they spin.

²¹ 9 But I say to you, that not even Solomon in all his glory was arrayed as one of these.

²² 0 And if the grass of the field, which is to day, and to morrow is cast into the oven, God doth so clothe: how much more you, O ye of little faith?

²³ 1 Be not solicitous therefore, saying, What shall we eat: or what shall we drink, or wherewith shall we be clothed?

²⁴ 2 For after all these things do the heathens seek. For your Father knoweth that you have need of all these things.

²⁵ 3 Seek ye therefore first the kingdom of God, and his justice, and all these things shall be added unto you.

²⁶ 4 Be not therefore solicitous for to morrow; for the morrow will be solicitous for itself. Sufficient for the day is the evil thereof.

²⁷ JUDGE not, that you may not be judged,

²⁸ For with what judgment you judge, you shall be judged: and with what measure you mete, it shall be measured to you again.

²⁹ Any why seest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye; and seest not the beam that is in thy own eye?

³⁰ Or how sayest thou to thy brother: Let me cast the mote out of thy eye; and behold a beam is in thy own eye?

³¹ Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam in thy own eye, and then shalt thou see to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

³² Give not that which is holy to dogs; neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest perhaps they trample them under their feet, and turning upon you, they tear you.

³³ Ask, and it shall be given you: seek, and you shall find: knock, and it shall be opened to you.

³⁴ For every one that asketh, receiveth: and he that seeketh, findeth: and to him that knocketh, it shall be opened.
