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. |
