Matthew Chapter 6: (Introduction to the Gospels, Coding Reference)
1╓Take-heed youa╖┌Moreover take-heed youa┐ not to do the ╓act-of-mercy╖ ┌righteousness┐ of you in-front-of the humanity towards the-one to have been viewed to them; moreover if not-at-least you do not have a recompense beside the father of you, the-one within the universes. 2Then whenever you may do an act-of-mercy, you may not blow-a-trumpet in-front-of you even-as the expounders do within the sacred-assemblies and within the roads to-the-end-that they may be made-renowned from-under the humanity. Truly, I say to you, They have-forth the recompense of them.
3Moreover {upon} doing an act-of-mercy of you let not the-one on-the-left-hand of you know-experientially which the-one on-the-right-hand of you is doing; 4to-the-end-that the act-of-mercy of you may be within the-one secret, and the father of you, the-one seeing within the -one secret, ╓he╖ ┌he┐ will give-forth to you ╓within the-one visible╖.
5And whenever ╓you╖ ┌you┐ may pray, ╓you╖ ┌you┐ will not be ╓even-as╖ ┌as┐ the expounders because they are loving-friendly within the sacred-assemblies and having had stood within the corners of the thoroughfares to-the-end-that they ╓would╖ ┌might┐ be appeared to the humanity to pray. Truly I say to you, ╓That they╖ ┌They┐ have-forth the recompense of them.
6Moreover whenever you may pray, enter you into the chamber of you, and having closed the entry of you pray you to the father of you, the-one within the-one secret, and the father of you, the-one seeing within the-one secret, will give-forth to you ╓within the-one visible╖.
7Moreover praying you might not stammer even-as the-ones national for they think that within the loquacity of them, they will be hearkened; 8then you might not resemble them, for the father of you knows you of which you have a need before the-one, you to have requestedfor-yourselves him.
9Then thus you may pray: a father of us, the-one within the universes, let the name of you be consecrated, 10let be the dominion of you come, let be the will of you become as within the universe and upon ╓the╖ ┌a┐ land. 11Give-freely you us today the loaf-of-bread of us, the-one sufficient-for-the-day, 12and dismiss you us the debts of us inasmuch-as we also ╓dismiss╖ ┌dismissed┐ the debtors of us; 13and might you not induce us into a trial, but set-free you us from the-one base ╓because the dominion of you and the power and the renown is into the eons, truly╖.
14For if- you -would dismiss to the humanity the blunders of them, the father of you, the-one universal, will also dismiss to you {the blunders of you}; 15Moreover if- you -would-not dismiss to the humanity ╓the blunders of them╖, not-even will the father of you dismiss the blunders of you.
16Moreover whenever you may fast, you may not become ╓even-as╖ ┌as┐ the sullen expounders for they obscureb the faces of them, to-the-end-that they, fasting, might be appeared to the humanity; truly I say to you, ╓That they╖ ┌They┐ have forth the recompense of them. 17Moreover you, fasting, besmear you {with oil} the head of you, and wash you the face of you, 18to-the-end-that you, fasting, might not appear to the humanity, but to the father of you, the-one within the-one secret and the father of you, the-one seeing within the-one ╓secret╖ ┌hidden┐ will give-forth to you ┬within the-one visible┬.
19Store you not with you treasures upon the land where a moth and an eatingc render-less-usefuld; and where thieves tunnele, and they steal; 20moreover store you with you treasures within a universe where neither a moth nor an eatingc render-less-usefuld; and where thieves do not tunnele, nor do they steal. 21For where the treasure of ╓you╖ ┌you┐ is, there also the heart of ╓you╖ ┌you┐ will be.
22The portable-light of the body is the eye; then if- the eye of you -would be single-minded, the whole body of you will be radiant; 23Moreover if- the eye of you -would be base, the whole body of you will be dark; then if the light, the-one within you, is darkness, how-great the darkness!
24No-one is-being-able to subjugate to two sirs: for either he will abhor the one, and he will love-affectionately the-one other-different; or he will adhere {upon} one, and he will despise {upon} the-one other-different; you are-being-able not to subjugate to a god and a riches.
25For-this-reason I say to you, be-solicitous you not with the physical-life of you; which you might eat, ╓and╖ ┌or┐ which you might drink, nor which you clothe the body of you. Nothing-at-all! The physical-life is more-than the nourishment, and the body {greater than} the clothing!
26Look-earnestly you into the-ones winged of the universe because they do not sow, nor do they reap, nor do they gather into storehouses; and the father of you, the-one universal, nourishes them; are you not excellingf more-exceedingly than them!
27Moreover who, being-solicitous out-of you, is-being-able to place forward upon the stature of him one cubitg?
28And concerning a clothing why were- you -solicitous? Examine you closely the white-lilies of the field: how ╓it grows╖ ┌they grow┐; ╓it is not growing-weary╖ ┌they are not growing-weary┐, nor ╓is it spinning╖ ┌are they spinning┐.
29Moreover I say to you that not-even was Solomon within all the renown of him enwrapped as one of these.
30Moreover if thus the god is dressing the grass of the field, being today and being cast tomorrow into the kiln. Diminished-complete-confidence-and-total-trust {ones}! {Does he} not {dress} more-exceedingly you with {the-one} much? 31Then might you not be-solicitous saying: which might we eat, or which might we drink, or which might we enwrap {ourselves}? 32For all these the nations ╓crave╖ ┌crave┐; for the father of you, the-one universal, knows that you have-need-of quite-all these.
33Moreover seek you first the dominion of the god and the righteousness of him and all these will be placed-forward to you. 34Then you might not be-solicitous into the-one tomorrow, for the-one tomorrow, the badness of it, will be-solicitous sufficiently ╓the-ones╖ of itself with the day.

aThe Greek is προσέχω, prosechō, meaning to have beside, with τὸν νοῦν, ton noun meaning in the mind implied, thus the meaning to have beside in the mind, thus contextually to take heed.
bOne thought for application here is the use of cosmetics or theatrical makeup to distort or obscure the face for the time fasting or just by natural disposition by putting on a dour or dejected face.
cThe Greek is βρῶσις brōsis meaning meat, eating; however the context is food for moths or other vermin or by corrosion which is liken to eating of metals.
dThe Greek is ἀφανίζω, aphanizō meaning to obscure, hide, however the context is render less useful by natural decaying mechanism, as well as moths or other vermin or by corrosion which is liken to eating of metals.
eThe Greek is διορύσσω, dioryssō meaning dig, tunnel, undermine; however the context for today is that others commit by any method to take what belongs to you.
fThe Greek is διαφέρω, diapherō meaning bring or carry through, convey; excel, differ, makes a difference. Contextually the latter is implied thus the use of excel.
gThe cubit is a unit of length, either the forearm or a measure of distance from the elbow to the tip of the middle finger. From modern physiology we understand anxiety shortens life, thus if another meaning of the Greek, age is used instead of stature and treating cubit as a length of time; then, who can add one year to his life with solicitousness or anxiety?
