Do not judge others,

and you will not be judged.

For you will be treated as you treat others.

The standard you use in judging

is the standard by which you will be judged.

Matthew 7:1-2

(En Gedi National Park, Israel)

So don’t worry about tomorrow,

for tomorrow will bring its own worries.

Today’s trouble is enough for today.

Matthew 6:34

Seek the kingdom of God above all else,

and live righteously,

and he will give you everything you need.

Matthew 6:34

…I tell you not to worry about everyday life—

whether you have enough food and drink,

or enough clothes to wear.

Isn’t life more than food and your body more than clothing?

Look at the birds.

They don’t plant or harvest

or store food in barns,

for your heavenly Father feeds them.

And aren’t you far more valuable to him than they are?

Matthew 6:25-26

Don’t store up treasures here on earth,

where moths eat them and rust destroys them,

and where thieves break in and steal.

Store your treasures in heaven,

where moths and rust cannot destroy,

and thieves do not break in and steal.

Wherever your treasure is,

there the desires of your heart will also be.

Matthew 6:19-21

Our Father in heaven,

Hallowed be Your name.

 
Your kingdom come.

Your will be done

On earth as it is in heaven.

 
Give us this day our daily bread.

 
And forgive us our debts,

As we forgive our debtors.

 
And do not lead us into temptation,

But deliver us from the evil one.

For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever.

Amen.

Matthew 6:9-13

When you pray,

don’t babble on and on as people of other religions do.

They think their prayers are answered

merely by repeating their words again and again.

Don’t be like them,

for your Father knows exactly what you need

even before you ask him!

Matthew 6:7-8

When you give to someone in need,

don’t let your left hand know what your right hand is doing.

Give your gifts in private,

and your Father,

who sees everything will reward you.

Matthew 6:3-4

…love your enemies!

Pray for those who persecute you!

In that way, you will be acting as true children

of your Father in heaven.

For he gives his sunlight to both the evil and the good,

and he sends rain on the just and the unjust alike.

If you love only those who love you,

what reward is there for that?…

Matthew 5:44-46

…if you are presenting a sacrifice at the altar in the Temple

and you suddenly remember that someone has something against you,

leave your sacrifice there at the altar.

Go and be reconciled to that person.

Then come and offer your sacrifice to God.

Matthew 5:23-24
