Matthew 6:5-7

5“WhenG3752 you prayG4336, you are not to be likeG5613 the hypocritesG5273; for they loveG5368 to 1standG2476 and prayG4336 in the synagoguesG4864 and on the streetG4116 cornersG1137 23soG3704 that they may be seenG5316 by menG444. 4TrulyG281 I sayG3004 to you, they haveG568 their rewardG3408 in fullG568. 6But you, whenG3752 you prayG4336, 5goG1525 into your innerG5009 roomG5009, closeG2808 your doorG2374 and prayG4336 to your FatherG3962 whoG3588 is in secretG2927, and 6your FatherG3962 whoG3588 seesG991 what is done in secretG2927 will rewardG591 you.

7“And when you are prayingG4336, do not useG945 meaninglessG945 repetitionG945 as the GentilesG1482 do, for they supposeG1380 that they will be heardG1522 for their 7manyG4180 wordsG4180.
