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

⁵ And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites; for they love in the assemblies, and in the corners of the broad ways to stand praying, so that they might appear to men. Verily I say to you, that they have their reward. ⁶ But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy store-house, and having shut thy door, pray to thy Father which in secret; and thy Father who seeing in secret shall give back to thee openly. ⁷ And praying, talk ye not vainly as the nations; for they think that by their profaneness of speech they shall be listened to. ⁸ Therefore make not yourselves like them: for your Father knows of what things ye have need before ye ask him.

⁹ Therefore so do ye pray: Our Father which in the heavens, Let thy name be declared holy. ¹⁰ Let thy kingdom come. Let thy will be as in heaven also upon the earth. ¹¹ Give us this day our bread sufficient for sustenance. ¹² And let go to us our debts, as we let go to our debtors. ¹³ And thou shouldst not lead us into temptation, but deliver thou us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.

¹⁴ For if ye let go to men their faults, your Father which in the heavens will also let go to you. ¹⁵ But if ye should not let go to men their faults, neither will your Father let go your faults.
