7 “And when you pray, do not heap up empty phrases as athe Gentiles do, for bthey think that they will be heard cfor their many words. 8 Do not be like them, afor your Father knows what you need before you ask him. 9 aPray then like this:
b“Our Father in heaven,
challowed be dyour name.
10 aYour kingdom come,
byour will be done,
con earth as it is in heaven.
11 aGive us bthis day our daily bread,
12 and forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
13 And alead us not into temptation,
but bdeliver us from cevil.
14 aFor if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, 15 abut if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
