Publisher description
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1901 edition. Excerpt: ...for the "scandal saying.") Thus verses 34-37 suggest by analogy some such arrangement as this: Swear not at all! Not by heaven--it is God's throne. Not by =arth--it is his footstool. Not by _Jerusalem--it is the city of the king. Not by thy head--thou canst not change a hair. Let your speech be yea and nay, More than this comes of evil!

When you give do not go trumpeting it about, as so many hypocrites do, in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have praise from men. They get what they seek. But when you give, let not your right hand even know that your left hand is giving--such must be the privacy of your charity. And your Father who sees all things, even those done in secrecy, will reward you. So also when you pray, do not follow the example of certain hypocrites, who love to stand up and pray in prayer-meetings and at public places, that men may see them. They get what they seek. But do you when you pray go to your room, closing the door, and your Father who sees in secret will recompense you. And so do not make long prayers with endless repetitions as pagans do. They think they will be heard because of many words. Your Father knows what you really need, before you ask him. Thus shall you pray: The secrecy of true prayer (Matt. 6: 5) Our
