Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.3 -  Butwhen thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:4 -  Thatthine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shallreward thee openly.5 -  Andwhen thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love topray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that theymay be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.6 -  Butthou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thydoor, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth insecret shall reward thee openly.7 -  Butwhen ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think thatthey shall be heard for their much speaking.8 -  Benot ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye haveneed of, before ye ask him.9 -  Afterthis manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thyname.10 -  Thykingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.11 -  Giveus this day our daily bread.12 -  Andforgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.13 -  Andlead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is thekingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.14 -  Forif ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:15 -  Butif ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive yourtrespasses.16 - Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: forthey disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I sayunto you, They have their reward.17 -  Butthou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face;18 -  Thatthou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: andthy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly.Luke 11:11 -  Andit came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased,one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taughthis disciples.
