Matthew 6:5-15

Listen to Matthew 6:5-15

The Sermon on the Mount: How to Pray

5 And whenever you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, because they love to stand [and] pray in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, in order that they may be seen by people. Truly I say to you, they have received their reward in full!
6 But whenever you pray, enter into your inner room and shut your door [and] pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
7 "But [when you] pray, do not babble repetitiously like the pagans, for they think that because of their many words they will be heard.
8 Therefore do not be like them, for your Father knows {what you need} before you ask him.
9 Therefore you pray in this way: "Our Father who is in heaven, may your name be treated as holy.
10 May your kingdom come, may your will be done on earth as [it is] in heaven.
11 Give us today our daily bread,
12 and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.
13 And do not bring us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.
14 For if you forgive people their sins, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
15 But if you do not forgive people, neither will your Father forgive your sins.
