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 (resting within) heaven (the heavenlies), Hallowed (sanctified) be thy name.

¹⁰ Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in (upon) earth, as it is in (resting within) heaven.

¹¹ Give us this day our daily (coming or deciding upon as did manna the true bread of heaven: God’s word) bread.

¹² And forgive us our debts (or sins), as we forgive (have forgiven) our debtors.

¹³ And lead (bring) us not into temptation (temptations), but deliver (rescue) us from (the) evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
