Ye have heard that it was said: Thou shalt not commit adultery; but I
say unto you that every one that looketh on a woman to lust after her
hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
Ye have heard that it was said: Thou shalt not forswear thyself; but I
say unto you: Swear not at all, but let your speech be Yea, yea; Nay,
nay; and whatsoever is more than these is of the evil.
When ye pray ye shall not be as the hypocrites, for they love to stand
and pray in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets that they
may be seen of men. Verily, I say unto you, they have received their
reward. But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thine inner chamber, and
having shut thy door, pray to thy Father who is in secret, and thy
Father who seeth in secret shall recompense thee.
Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust
consume, and where thieves break through and steal; but lay up for
yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth
consume, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: for where thy
treasure is, there will thy heart be also.
Be not anxious for what ye shall eat, or for what ye shall drink, nor
for what ye shall put on. Behold the birds of the heavens: they sow not,
neither do they reap, nor gather into barns, and your heavenly Father
feedeth them. Are not ye of much more value than they? Consider the
lilies of the field, how they grow! They toil not, neither do they spin;
yet I say unto you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed
like one of these. Be not therefore anxious for the morrow; for
sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
Whatsoever ye would that men should do unto you, even so do ye also unto
them. (Matt. 5-7.)
