Matthew:6:5-15
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 .
*
After this manner therefore pray ye :
Our Father which art in heaven ,
Hallowed be thy name .
*
Thy kingdom come .
Thy will be done in 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 evil :
For thine is the kingdom ,
and the power ,
and the glory ,
for ever .
Amen .
*
For if ye forgive men their trespasses ,
your heavenly Father will also forgive you :
*
But if ye forgive not men their trespasses ,
neither will your Father forgive your trespasses .
