| 1 | προσεχετε |  | την |  | ελεημοσυνην |  | υμων |  | μη |  | ποιειν |  | εμπροσθεν |  | των |
|  | Beware |  | your alms |  | ♦ |  | ♦ |  | not |  | to do |  | before |  | ♦ |

ανθρωπων |  | προς |  | το |  | θεαθηναι |  | αυτοις |  | ει |  | δε |  | μηγε |  | μισθον |
men, |  | in order to be seen |  | ♦ |  | ♦ |  | by them: |  | otherwise |  | ♦ |  | ♦ |  | reward |

ουκ |  | εχετε |  | παρα |  | τω |  | πατρι |  | υμων |  | τω |  | εν |  | τοις |  | ουρανοις |  |
ye have not |  | ♦ |  | with |  | your Father |  | ♦ |  | ♦ |  | who [is] |  | in |  | the |  | heavens. |  |

| 2 | οταν |  | ουν |  | ποιης |  | ελεημοσυνην |  | μη |  | σαλπισης |
|  | When |  | therefore |  | thou doest |  | alms, |  | do not sound a trumpet |  | ♦ |

εμπροσθεν |  | σου |  | ωσπερ |  | οι |  | υποκριται |  | ποιουσιν |  | εν |  | ταις |  | συναγωγαις |  | και |  | εν |
before |  | thee, |  | as |  | the |  | hypocrites |  | do |  | in |  | the |  | synagogues |  | and |  | in |

ταις |  | ρυμαις |  | οπως |  | δοξασθωσιν |  | υπο |  | των |  | ανθρωπων |  | αμην |  | λεγω |  | υμιν |
the |  | streets, |  | that |  | they may have glory |  | from |  | ♦ |  | men. |  | Verily |  | I say |  | to you, |

απεχουσιν |  | τον |  | μισθον |  | αυτων |  |
they have |  | their reward. |  | ♦ |  | ♦ |  |

| 3 | σου |  | δε |  | ποιουντος |  | ελεημοσυνην |  | μη |  | γνωτω |  | η |
|  | But thou |  | ♦ |  | doing |  | alms |  | let not know 4 |  | ♦ |  | thy 1 left 2 hand 3 |

αριστερα |  | σου |  | τι |  | ποιει |  | η |  | δεξια |  | σου |  |
♦ |  | ♦ |  | what |  | does |  | thy right hand, |  | ♦ |  | ♦ |  |

| 4 | οπως |  | η |  | σου |  | η |  | ελεημοσυνη |  | εν |  | τω |  | κρυπτω |  | και |  | ο |  | πατηρ |
|  | so that |  | may 3 be 4 |  | thine 1 |  | alms 2 |  | ♦ |  | in |  | ♦ |  | secret: |  | and |  | thy Father |  | ♦ |

σου |  | ο |  | βλεπων |  | εν |  | τω |  | κρυπτω |  | αυτος |  | αποδωσει |  | σοι |  | εν |  | τω |  | φανερω |  |
♦ |  | who |  | sees |  | in |  | ♦ |  | secret |  | himself |  | shall render |  | to thee |  | openly. |  | ♦ |  | ♦ |  |

| 5 | και |  | οταν |  | προσευχη |  | ουκ |  | εση |  | ωσπερ |  | οι |  | υποκριται |  | οτι |  | φιλουσιν |
|  | And |  | when |  | thou prayest, |  | thou shalt not be |  | ♦ |  | as |  | the |  | hyprocrites, |  | for |  | they love |

εν |  | ταις |  | συναγωγαις |  | και |  | εν |  | ταις |  | γωνιαις |  | των |  | πλατειων |  | εστωτες |
in |  | the |  | synagogues |  | and |  | in |  | the |  | corners |  | of the |  | streets |  | standing |

προσευχεσθαι |  | οπως |  | αν |  | φανωσιν |  | τοις |  | ανθρωποις |  | αμην |  | λεγω |
to pray, |  | so that |  | they may appear |  | ♦ |  | ♦ |  | to men. |  | Verily |  | I say |

υμιν |  | οτι |  | απεχουσιν |  | τον |  | μισθον |  | αυτων |  |
to you, |  | that |  | they have |  | ♦ |  | reward 2 |  | their. 1 |  |

| 6 | συ |  | δε |  | οταν |  | προσευχη |  | εισελθε |  | εις |  | το |  | ταμιειον |  | σου |  | και |
|  | But thou, |  | ♦ |  | when |  | thou prayest, |  | enter |  | into |  | thy chamber, |  | ♦ |  | ♦ |  | and |

κλεισας |  | την |  | θυραν |  | σου |  | προσευξαι |  | τω |  | πατρι |  | σου |  | τω |  | εν |  | τω |
having shut |  | thy door, |  | ♦ |  | ♦ |  | pray |  | to thy Father |  | ♦ |  | ♦ |  | who [is] |  | in |  | ♦ |

κρυπτω |  | και |  | ο |  | πατηρ |  | σου |  | ο |  | βλεπων |  | εν |  | τω |  | κρυπτω |  | αποδωσει |
secret; |  | and |  | thy Father |  | ♦ |  | ♦ |  | who |  | sees |  | in |  | ♦ |  | secret |  | will render |

σοι |  | εν |  | τω |  | φανερω |  |
to thee |  | openly. |  | ♦ |  | ♦ |  |

| 7 | προσευχομενοι |  | δε |  | μη |  | βαττολογησητε |  | ωσπερ |  | οι |
|  | But when ye pray |  | ♦ |  | do not use vain repetitions, |  | ♦ |  | as |  | the |

εθνικοι |  | δοκουσιν |  | γαρ |  | οτι |  | εν |  | τη |  | πολυλογια |  | αυτων |  | εισακουσθησονται |  |
heathens: |  | for they think |  | ♦ |  | that |  | in |  | ♦ |  | much 2 speaking 3 |  | their 1 |  | they shall be heard. |  |

| 8 | μη |  | ουν |  | ομοιωθητε |  | αυτοις |  | οιδεν |  | γαρ |  | ο |  | πατηρ |  | υμων |
|  | Not 2 |  | therefore 3 |  | be like 1 |  | to them: |  | for knows 3 |  | ♦ |  | your 1 Father 2 |  | ♦ |  | ♦ |

ων |  | χρειαν |  | εχετε |  | προ |  | του |  | υμας |  | αιτησαι |  | αυτον |  |
of what things |  | need 3 |  | ye 1 have 2 |  | before |  | ♦ |  | ye |  | ask |  | him. |  |

| 9 | ουτως |  | ουν |  | προσευχεσθε |  | υμεις |  | πατερ |  | ημων |  | ο |  | εν |  | τοις |

|  | And |  | lead not |  | ♦ |  | us |  | into |  | temptation, |  | but |  | deliver |  | us |  | from |  | ♦ |

πονηρου |  | οτι |  | σου |  | εστιν |  | η |  | βασιλεια |  | και |  | η |  | δυναμις |  | και |  | η |  | δοξα |  | εις |  | τους |
