5And when you make your prayers, be not like the false-hearted men, who take pleasure in getting up and saying their prayers in the Synagogues and at the street turnings so that they may be seen by men. Truly I say to you, They have their reward.
6But when you make your prayer, go into your private room, and, shutting the door, say a prayer to your Father in secret, and your Father, who sees in secret, will give you your reward.
7And 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.
8So be not like them; because your Father has knowledge of your needs even before you make your requests to him.
9Let this then be your prayer: Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy.
10Let your kingdom come. Let your pleasure be done, as in heaven, so on earth.
