“And when you may fast, do not be as the hypocrites, of sour countenances, for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear to men fasting; truly I say to you that they have their reward.”— Matthew 6:16 (LSV)
13And may You not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil [one], because Yours is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory—for all ages. Amen.
14For if you may forgive men their trespasses He also will forgive you—your Father who [is] in the heavens;
15but if you may not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
16And when you may fast, do not be as the hypocrites, of sour countenances, for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear to men fasting; truly I say to you that they have their reward.
17But you, fasting, anoint your head, and wash your face,
18that you may not appear to men fasting, but to your Father who [is] in secret, and your Father, who is seeing in secret, will reward you.
19Do not treasure up to yourselves treasures on the earth, where moth and rust disfigure, and where thieves break through and steal,
