| New Living Translation (NLT) | New International Version (NIV) |
| 7 "When you pray, don't babble on and on as people of other religions do. They think their prayers are answered only by repeating their words again and again. | 7 And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. |
