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. |
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. |
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. |
