The Lord’s Prayer

(A)Pray, then, in this way:

‘Our Father, who is in heaven,
[a]Hallowed be Your name.
10 [b](B)Your kingdom come.
(C)Your will be done,
[c]On earth as it is in heaven.
11 (D)Give us this day [d]our daily bread.
12 And (E)forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.
13 And do not lead us into temptation, but (F)deliver us from [e](G)evil.[f]

14 (H)For if you forgive other people for their [g]offenses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15 But (I)if you do not forgive other people, then your Father will not forgive your [h]offenses.

Fasting; The True Treasure; Wealth

16 “Now (J)whenever you fast, do not make a gloomy face as the hypocrites do, for they [i]distort their faces so that they will be noticed by people when they are fasting. (K)Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full.
