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

⁵ "And, when ye pray, ye shall not be as the hypocrites; for they love to pray, standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men: verily I say to you, they have their reward. ⁶ But when you pray, enter into your closet; and, having closed your door, pray to your Father Who is in secret; and your Father Who seeth in secret will recompense you. ⁷ "And, when praying, use not vain repetitions, as the gentiles do; for they think that for their much speaking they shall be heard. ⁸ Be not, therefore, like them; for your Father knoweth of what things ye have need before ye ask Him.

⁹ Thus, therefore, pray ye: 'Our Father, Who art in Heaven, Hallowed be Thy name. ¹⁰ Thy Kingdom come; Thy will be done, as in Heaven, so on earth. ¹¹ Give us this day our daily bread. ¹² And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. ¹³ And bring us not into temptation but deliver us from the evil one.'

¹⁴ "For, if ye forgive men their trespasses, your Heavenly Father will also forgive you; ¹⁵ but, if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
