7. And when you are praying, do not babble on and on like the pagans; for they think they will be heard because of their many words.
8. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.
9. “Therefore, pray in this way: ‘Our Father in heaven, sanctified be Your name.
10. Your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
11. Give us this day our daily bread.
12. And forgive us our debts as we also have forgiven our debtors.
13. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.’
14. “For if you forgive others their transgressions, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
15. But if you do not forgive others, neither will your Father forgive your transgressions.
16. “And whenever you fast, do not become sad-faced like the hypocrites, for they neglect their faces to make their fasting evident to men. Amen, I tell you, they have their reward in full!
17. But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face,
18. so that your fasting won’t be evident to men, 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 rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal.
20. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in or steal.
21. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
22. “The eye is the lamp of the body. Therefore if your eye is good, your whole body will be full of light.
23. But if your eye is bad, your body will be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!
