Matthew:6:5-8
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And when thou prayest ,
thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are :
for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets ,
that they may be seen of men .
Verily I say unto you ,
They have their reward .
*
But thou ,
when thou prayest ,
enter into thy closet ,
and when thou hast shut thy door ,
pray to thy Father which is in secret ;
and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly .
*
But when ye pray ,
use not vain repetitions ,
as the heathen do :
for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking .
*
Be not ye therefore like unto them :
for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of ,
before ye ask him .
