Matthew 6:7-15
Chapter 6
7
When you pray, do not use many words like the pagans do, because they think that the more they speak, the more likely they are to be heard.
8
Avoid emulating them. Your Father already knows what you need before you ask.
9
The Lord’s Prayer
This, then, is how you should pray:
Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
10
your kingdom,
come,your will be done
on earth as in heaven.
11
Give us today our daily bread.
12
And forgive us our debts,
as we forgive our debtors.
13
Do not bring us to the time of trial,but deliver us from the evil one.
14
If you forgive others for their wrongdoings, your Father in heaven will also forgive you;
15
but if you do not forgive others, neither will your Father forgive your transgressions.
