Ἠκούσατε You have heard ὅτι that ἐρρέθη· it was said, Ἀγαπήσεις You shall love τόν - πλησίον neighbor σου of you καί and μισήσεις shall hate τόν - ἐχθρόν enemy σου. of you.’ ἐγώ I δέ however λέγω say ὑμῖν· to you, ἀγαπᾶτε love τούς the ἐχθρούς enemies ὑμῶν of you, καί and προσεύχεσθε pray ὑπέρ for τῶν those διωκόντων persecuting ὑμᾶς, you, ὅπως so that γένησθε you may be υἱοί sons τοῦ of the Πατρός Father ὑμῶν of you τοῦ who is ἐν in οὐρανοῖς, [the] heavens. ὅτι For τόν the ἥλιον sun αὐτοῦ of Him ἀνατέλλει He makes rise ἐπί on πονηρούς evil καί and ἀγαθούς good, καί and βρέχει He sends rain ἐπί on δικαίους righteous καί and ἀδίκους. unrighteous. ἐάν If γάρ for ἀγαπήσητε you love τούς those ἀγαπῶντας loving ὑμᾶς, you, τίνα what μισθόν reward ἔχετε; have you? οὐχί Do not καί also οἱ the τελῶναι tax collectors τό the αὐτό same ποιοῦσιν; do? καί And ἐάν if ἀσπάσησθε you greet τούς the ἀδελφούς brothers ὑμῶν of you μόνον, only, τί what περισσόν extraordinary ποιεῖτε; do you? οὐχί Do not καί also οἱ the ἐθνικοί Gentiles τό the αὐτό same ποιοῦσιν; do?

Καί And ὅταν when προσεύχησθε, you pray, οὐ not ἔσεσθε you shall be ὡς like οἱ the ὑποκριταί, hypocrites, ὅτι for φιλοῦσιν they love ἐν in ταῖς the συναγωγαῖς synagogues καί and ἐν on ταῖς the γωνίαις corners τῶν of the πλατειῶν streets ἑστῶτες standing προσεύχεσθαι, to pray, ὅπως so that φανῶσιν they might be seen τοῖς - ἀνθρώποις· by men. ἀμήν Truly λέγω I say ὑμῖν, to you, ἀπέχουσιν they have τόν the μισθόν reward αὐτῶν. of them. σύ You δέ however, ὅταν when προσεύχῃ, you pray, εἴσελθε enter εἰς into τό the ταμεῖον room σου of you, καί and κλείσας having shut τήν the θύραν door σου of you, πρόσευξαι pray τῷ to Πατρί Father σου of you, τῷ the [One] ἐν in τῷ - κρυπτῷ· secret. καί And ὁ the Πατήρ Father σου of you, ὁ the [One] βλέπων seeing ἐν in τῷ - κρυπτῷ secret, ἀποδώσει will reward σοι. you. Προσευχόμενοι Praying δέ now μή not βατταλογήσητε do use vain repetitions, ὥσπερ like οἱ the ἐθνικοί, pagans, δοκοῦσιν they think γάρ for ὅτι that ἐν in τῇ the πολυλογίᾳ many words αὐτῶν of them εἰσακουσθήσονται. they will be heard. μή Not οὖν therefore ὁμοιωθῆτε be like αὐτοῖς· to them, οἶδεν knows γάρ for ὁ the Πατήρ Father ὑμῶν of you ὧν of what things χρείαν need ἔχετε you have, πρό before τοῦ - ὑμᾶς your αἰτῆσαι asking αὐτόν.

Οὕτως Thus οὖν therefore προσεύχεσθε pray ὑμεῖς· you: Πάτερ Father ἡμῶν of us, ὁ who [is] ἐν in τοῖς the οὐρανοῖς· heavens, Ἁγιασθήτω hallowed be τό the ὄνομα name σου· of You. Ἐλθέτω Come ἡ the βασιλεία kingdom σου· of You; Γενηθήτω be done τό the θέλημα will σου, of You, ὡς as ἐν in οὐρανῷ heaven, καί [so] also ἐπί upon γῆς· earth. Τόν The ἄρτον bread ἡμῶν of us τόν - ἐπιούσιον daily δός grant ἡμῖν us σήμερον· today. Καί And ἄφες forgive ἡμῖν us τά the ὀφειλήματα debts ἡμῶν, of us, ὡς as καί also ἡμεῖς we ἀφήκαμεν forgive τοῖς the ὀφειλέταις debtors ἡμῶν· of us; Καί And μή not εἰσενέγκῃς lead ἡμᾶς us εἰς into πειρασμόν, temptation, Ἀλλά but ῥῦσαι deliver ἡμᾶς us ἀπό from τοῦ - πονηροῦ. evil.’

Ἐάν If γάρ for ἀφῆτε you forgive τοῖς - ἀνθρώποις men τά the παραπτώματα trespasses αὐτῶν, of them, ἀφήσει will forgive καί also ὑμῖν you ὁ the Πατήρ Father ὑμῶν of you ὁ - οὐράνιος· Heavenly. ἐάν If δέ however μή not ἀφῆτε you forgive τοῖς - ἀνθρώποις, men, οὐδέ neither ὁ the Πατήρ Father ὑμῶν of you ἀφήσει will forgive τά the παραπτώματα trespasses ὑμῶν. of you.

Ὅταν Whenever δέ now νηστεύητε, you fast, μή not γίνεσθε be ὡς like οἱ the ὑποκριταί hypocrites, σκυθρωποί, gloomy; ἀφανίζουσιν they disfigure γάρ for τά the πρόσωπα appearance αὐτῶν of them, ὅπως so that φανῶσιν they might appear τοῖς - ἀνθρώποις to men νηστεύοντες· [as] fasting. ἀμήν Truly λέγω I say ὑμῖν, to you, ἀπέχουσιν they have τόν the μισθόν reward αὐτῶν. of them. σύ You δέ however, νηστεύων fasting, ἄλειψαι anoint σου your τήν - κεφαλήν head καί and τό the πρόσωπον face σου of you νίψαι, wash, ὅπως so that μή not φανῇς you might appear τοῖς - ἀνθρώποις to men νηστεύων [as] fasting, ἀλλά but τῷ - Πατρί to Father σου your τῷ the [One] ἐν in τῷ - κρυφαίῳ· secret; καί and ὁ the Πατήρ Father σου of you, ὁ the [One] βλέπων seeing ἐν in τῷ - κρυφαίῳ secret, ἀποδώσει will reward σοι. you. Μή Not θησαυρίζετε store up ὑμῖν for yourselves θησαυρούς treasures ἐπί upon τῆς the γῆς, earth, ὅπου where σής moth καί and βρῶσις rust ἀφανίζει destroy, καί and ὅπου where κλέπται thieves διορύσσουσιν break in καί and κλέπτουσιν· steal; θησαυρίζετε store up δέ however ὑμῖν for yourselves θησαυρούς treasures ἐν in οὐρανῷ, heaven, ὅπου where οὔτε neither σής moth οὔτε nor βρῶσις rust ἀφανίζει destroy, καί and ὅπου where κλέπται thieves οὐ not διορύσσουσιν do break in οὐδέ nor κλέπτουσιν· steal. ὅπου Where γάρ for ἐστίν is ὁ the θησαυρός treasure σου, of you, ἐκεῖ there ἔσται will be καί also ἡ the καρδία heart σου. of you.

ὁ The λύχνος lamp τοῦ of the σώματος body ἐστίν is ὁ the ὀφθαλμός. eye. ἐάν If οὖν therefore ᾖ is ὁ the ὀφθαλμός eye σου of you ἁπλοῦς, clear, ὅλον [the] whole τό - σῶμα body σου of you φωτεινόν full of light ἔσται· will be. ἐάν If δέ however ὁ the ὀφθαλμός eye σου of you πονηρός evil ᾖ, is, ὅλον all τό the σῶμα body σου of you σκοτεινόν full of darkness ἔσται. will be.
