“For they love to pray standing in the
Synagogues, and on the corners of
the streets, so that they be seen by
others.
“Truly, I say to you: they have their
reward.
“But you – when you pray – go into
your room, and when you have
shut your door, pray to your Father
Who is in the Secret Place; and
your Father Who sees in secret will
Reward you openly.
“And when you pray, do not use vain
repetitions as the heathen do. For
they think that they will be heard
for their many words.
“Therefore, do not be like them. For
your Father knows the things that
you have need of before you ask
Him.
“In this manner, therefore, pray: ‘Our
Father in Heaven, Hallowed be Thy
Name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy
Will be done on earth as it is in
Heaven. Give us this day our daily
Bread. And forgive us our debts as
we forgive our debtors. And lead
us not into temptation, but deliver
us from the evil one.
“For Thine is the Kingdom, and the
Power, and the Glory forever.
