Study Notes
Giving to the Needy
- Be careful not to practice righteousness in front of others to be seen by them, as you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.
- When giving to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do, to be honored by others.
- Give in secret, and your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
Prayer
- Do not pray like the hypocrites, who love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others.
- When you pray, go into your room, close the door, and pray to your Father, who is unseen.
- Your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
- Do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words.
- Your Father knows what you need before you ask him.
- The correct way to pray is: "Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven."
Fasting
- When you fast, do not look somber as the hypocrites do, for they disfigure their faces to show others they are fasting.
- When you fast, put oil on your head and wash your face, so that it will not be obvious to others that you are fasting.
- Your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
Treasures in Heaven
- Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.
- Store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.
- Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
Serving God and Money
- No one can serve two masters: you will either hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other.
- You cannot serve both God and money.
Do Not Worry
- Do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink, or about your body, what you will wear.
- Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?
- Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them.
- You are more valuable than the birds, and your heavenly Father will take care of you.
- Worrying cannot add a single hour to your life.
- Seek first God's kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
- Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
