6But when you pray, go into
your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then
your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
7And when you pray, do not
keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because
of their many words. 8Do not
be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.
9"This, then, is how you
should pray:
" 'Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
10your kingdom come,
your will be done
on earth as it is in heaven.
11Give us today our daily
bread.
12Forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
13And lead us not into
temptation,
but deliver us from the evil one.[a]'
14For if you forgive men when
they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
15But if you do not forgive
men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins
