Matthew 6:5–15

⁵And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites; for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets so that they should appear to men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. ⁶But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy chamber, and having shut thy door, pray to thy Father who is in secret, and thy Father who sees in secret will render it to thee. ⁷But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as those who are of the nations: for they think they shall be heard through their much speaking. ⁸Be not ye therefore like them, for your Father knows of what things ye have need before ye beg anything of him.

⁹Thus therefore pray ye: Our Father who art in the heavens, let thy name be sanctified, ¹⁰let thy kingdom come, let thy will be done as in heaven so upon the earth; ¹¹give us to-day our needed bread, ¹²and forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors, ¹³and lead us not into temptation, but save us from evil. ¹⁴For if ye forgive men their offences, your heavenly Father also will forgive you yours, ¹⁵but if ye do not forgive men their offences, neither will your Father forgive your offences.
