Matthew 6:6-13
New King James Version
6 But you, when you pray, (A)go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you [a]openly. 7 And when you pray, (B)do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do. (C)For they think that they will be heard for their many words.
8 “Therefore do not be like them. For your Father (D)knows the things you have need of before you ask Him. 9 In this (E)manner, therefore, pray:
(F)Our Father in heaven,
Hallowed be Your (G)name.
10 Your kingdom come.
(H)Your will be done
On earth (I)as it is in heaven.
11 Give us this day our (J)daily bread.
12 And (K)forgive us our debts,
As we forgive our debtors.
13 (L)And do not lead us into temptation,
But (M)deliver us from the evil one.
[b]For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.

6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father,(A) who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. 7 And when you pray, do not keep on babbling(B) like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words.(C) 8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need(D) before you ask him.
9 “This, then, is how you should pray:
“‘Our Father(E) in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
10 your kingdom(F) come,
your will be done,(G)
on earth as it is in heaven.
11 Give us today our daily bread.(H)
12 And forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.(I)
13 And lead us not into temptation,[a](J)
but deliver us from the evil one.[b]’(K)
