⁵‘And when thou mayest pray, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites, because they love in the synagogues, and in the corners of the broad places—standing—to pray, that they may be seen of men; verily I say to you, that they have their reward.

⁶‘But thou, when thou mayest pray, go into thy chamber, and having shut thy door, pray to thy Father who is in secret, and thy Father who is seeing in secret, shall reward thee manifestly.

⁷‘And—praying—ye may not use vain repetitions like the nations, for they think that in their much speaking they shall be heard, ⁸be ye not therefore like to them, for your Father doth know those things that ye have need of before your asking him.

⁹Thus therefore pray ye: ‘Our Father who art in the heavens! hallowed be Thy name.

¹⁰‘Thy reign come: Thy will come to pass, as in heaven also on the earth.

¹¹‘Our appointed bread give us to-day.

¹²‘And forgive us our debts, as also we forgive our debtors.

¹³‘And mayest Thou not lead us to temptation, but deliver us from the evil, because Thine is the reign, and the power, and the glory—to the ages. Amen.
