The Holy Gospel According to Matthew   6: 7-15

6:7 And when praying, do not choose many words, as the pagans do. For they think that by their excess of words they might be heeded.
6:8 Therefore, do not choose to imitate them. For your Father knows what your needs may be, even before you ask him.
6:9 Therefore, you shall pray in this way: Our Father, who is in heaven: May your name be kept holy.
6:10 May your kingdom come. May your will be done, as in heaven, so also on earth.
6:11 Give us this day our life-sustaining bread.
6:12 And forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors.
6:13 And lead us not into temptation. But free us from evil. Amen.
6:14 For if you will forgive men their sins, your heavenly Father also will forgive you your offenses.
6:15 But if you will not forgive men, neither will your Father forgive you your sins.
