Matthew 6:5–15

The Lord’s Prayer

⁵ 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.

⁶ 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.

⁷ But when ye pray, use not vain rep­e­ti­tions, as the hea­then do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.

⁸ Be not ye there­fore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.

⁹ After this man­ner there­fore pray ye:

Our Father which art in heaven,
Hal­lowed be thy name.

¹⁰ Thy king­dom come,

Thy will be done in earth,
as it is in heaven.

¹¹ Give us this day our daily bread.

¹² And for­give us our debts,
as we for­give our debtors.

¹³ 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.

¹⁴ For if ye for­give men their tres­passes, your heav­enly Father will also for­give you:

¹⁵ But if ye for­give not men their tres­passes, nei­ther will your Father for­give your trespasses.
