Matthew 6:5-15 - The Sermon On The Mount: How To Pray

⁵ And, when ye may be praying, ye shall not be as the hypocrites, because they love, in the synagogues, and at the corners of the broad ways, to take their stand and pray, that they may shine before men; Verily, I say unto you, they are getting back their reward. ⁶ But, thou, when thou wouldest pray, enter into thy closet, and, fastening thy door, pray unto thy Father who is in secret, - and, thy Father who seeth in secret, will reward thee. ⁷ And, being at prayer, use not vain repetitions, just like the nations, - for they think, that, in their much speaking, they shall be hoard; ⁸ do not, therefore, make yourselves like them, for Godyour Father knoweth of what things ye have, need, before ye ask him.

⁹ Thus, therefore pray, ye: Our Father, who art in the heavens, - Hallowed be thy name, ¹⁰ Come may thy kingdom, - Accomplished be thy will, as in heaven, also on earth: ¹¹ Our needful bread, give us, this day; ¹² And forgive us our debts, as, we also, have forgiven our debtors; ¹³ And bring us not into temptation, but rescue us from the evil one.

¹⁴ For, if ye forgive men their faults, Your Father who is in the heavens, will forgive, even you; ¹⁵ But, if ye forgive not men their faults, neither will your Father forgive, your faults.
