New American Standard Bible 1995

Matthew 6:7-15

7“And when you are praying, do not use meaningless repetition as the Gentiles do, for they suppose that they will be heard for their 1many words. 8So do not be like them; for 2your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.

9“3Pray, then, in this way: ‘Our Father who is in heaven, Hallowed be Your name.10 4Your kingdom come. 5Your will be done, On earth as it is in heaven.11 6Give us this day 7our daily bread.12And 8forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.13And do not lead us into temptation, but 9deliver us from 10 11evil. 12[For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.’] 14 13For if you forgive 14others for their transgressions, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15But 15if you do not forgive 16others, then your Father will not forgive your transgressions.
