Matthew 6:7

BBE

NIV

7 And in your prayer do not make use of the same words again and again, as the Gentiles do: for they have the idea that God will give attention to them because of the number of their words.
7 And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words.
