And when thou prayest, be not as the face-takers, who love to stand in the assemblies and at the corners of the streets to pray, that they may be seen of men; and truly I say to you that they receive their reward.
But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy secret chamber, and shut thy door, and pray to thy Father who is in secret; and thy Father, who seeth in secret, shall reward thee in openness.
And when thou art praying, be not wordy, like the profane; for they think that in much speaking they are heard.
Be you not like them, for your Father knoweth what is needful for you before that you ask him.
Thus pray:
Our Father who art in the heavens! be sanctified thy Name.
Come thy kingdom.
Be done thy will, as in heaven, also in earth.
Give to us the bread of our need to-day; and forgive us our debts, as also we forgive our debtors; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil.
For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory to the age of ages.
For if you forgive men their trespasses, your Father who is in heaven will forgive you also.
But if you will not forgive men, your Father also forgiveth not your trespasses unto you.
