15But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

16Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may be seen of men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have received their reward.

17But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thy head, and wash thy face;

18that thou be not seen of men to fast, but of thy Father who is in secret: and thy Father, who seeth in secret, shall recompense thee.

19Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon the earth, where moth and rust consume, and where thieves break through and steal:

20but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth consume, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:

21for where thy treasure is, there will thy heart be also.
