5. And whenever you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, because they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, in order that they may be seen by people. Truly I say to you, they have received their reward in full!
6. But whenever you pray, enter into your inner room and shut your door and pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
7. “But when you pray, do not babble repetitiously like the pagans, for they think that because of their many words they will be heard.
8. Therefore do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.
9. Therefore you pray in this way: “Our Father who is in heaven, may your name be treated as holy.
10. May your kingdom come, may your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
11. Give us today our daily bread,
12. and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.
13. And do not bring us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.
14. For if you forgive people their sins, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
15. But if you do not forgive people, neither will your Father forgive your sins.
16. “Whenever you fast, do not be sullen like the hypocrites, for they make their faces unrecognizable in order that they may be seen fasting by people. Truly I say to you, they have received their reward in full!
17. But when you are fasting, put olive oil on your head and wash your face
18. so that you will not be seen by people as fasting, but to your Father who is in secret, and your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
19. “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and consuming insect destroy and where thieves break in and steal,
20. but store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor consuming insect destroy and where thieves do not break in or steal.
21. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
22. “The eye is the lamp of the body. Therefore if your eye is sincere, your whole body will be full of light.
23. But if your eye is evil, your whole body will be dark. Therefore if the light in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!
