Matthew 6:5-15 English Standard Version (ESV)

The Lord's Prayer

⁵“And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For they love ^(A)to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others. ^(B)Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. ⁶But when you pray, ^(C)go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. ^(D)And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.

⁷“And when you pray, do not heap up empty phrases as ^(E)the Gentiles do, for ^(F)they think that they will be heard ^(G)for their many words. ⁸Do not be like them, ^(H)for your Father knows what you need before you ask him. ⁹^(I)Pray then like this:

^(J)“Our Father in heaven,
^(K)hallowed be ^(L)your name.^[a]
¹⁰^(M)Your kingdom come,
^(N)your will be done,^[b]
    ^(O)on earth as it is in heaven.
¹¹^(P)Give us ^(Q)this day our daily bread,^[c]
¹²and forgive us our debts,
    as we also have forgiven our debtors.
¹³And ^(R)lead us not into temptation,
    but ^(S)deliver us from ^(T)evil.^[d]

¹⁴^(U)For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, ¹⁵^(V)but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
