Matthew 6:5-13

Twentieth_Century(i) 5 And, when you pray, you are not to behave as hypocrites do. They like to pray standing in the Synagogues and at the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. There, I tell you, is their reward! 6 But, when one of you prays, let him go into his own room, shut the door, and pray to his Father who dwells in secret; and his Father, who sees what is secret, will recompense him. 7 When praying, do not repeat the same words over and over again, as is done by the Gentiles, who think that by using many words they will obtain a hearing. 8 Do not imitate them; for God, your Father, knows what you need before you ask him. 9 You, therefore, should pray thus--'Our Father, who art in Heaven, May thy name be held holy, 10 Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done--on earth, as in Heaven. 11 Give us to-day the bread that we shall need; 12 And forgive us our wrong-doings, as we have forgiven those who have wronged us; 13 And take us not into temptation, but deliver us from Evil.'
