Matthew 6:6-9 But whenever you, follower of mine, pray, you must go to your most private place, shut the door, and pray to your Father in secret, and your Father who sees what is secret will reward you.

Williams⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁶ But whenever you, follower of mine, pray, you must go to your most private place, shut the door, and pray to your Father in secret, and your Father who sees what is secret will reward you. ⁷ And whenever you pray, you must not keep on repeating set phrases, as the heathen do, for they suppose that they will be heard in accordance with the length of their prayers, ⁸ So then you must not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him. ⁹ So this is the way you must pray: Our Father in heaven, Your name be revered.
