shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths:

34 But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by

heaven

; for it is God's throne: 35 Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by

Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King.Matt. 5:33-37 Always tell the truthSlide7

shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black. 37 But let your communication be,

22 5 And when thou

prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men

. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

6 But thou, when thou

prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.

Matt. 6:5-13 How to praySlide23

23 7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.

8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.

Matt. 6:5-13

How to praySlide24

24 9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. 11 Give us this day our daily bread. 12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. 13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For

thine

is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

Do not judge hypocritically or hyper-criticaly Slide32

32 3 And why

beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest

not

the beam

that is in thine own eye? 4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?

5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.
