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.
