Again, ye have heard that it hath been said to them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform to the Lord thy oaths:

But I say to you, Swear not at all: neither by heaven; for it is God's throne:

Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black.

Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen by them: otherwise ye have no reward from your Father who is in heaven.

Therefore, when thou doest thy alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do, in the synagogues, and in the streets, that they may have glory from men. Verily, I say to you, they have their reward.

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

And when thou prayest, thou shalt 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 by men. Verily, I say to you, they have their reward.

But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another: for verily I say to you, Ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel till the Son of man shall have come.

The disciple is not above his teacher, nor the servant above his lord.

Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.

And fear not them who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and not one of them shall fall on the ground without your Father.

Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.

Therefore I speak to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
