⁷ “When you pray, don’t pour out a flood of empty words, as the Gentiles do. They think that by saying many words they’ll be heard. ⁸ Don’t be like them, because your Father knows what you need before you ask. ⁹ Pray like this:

Our Father who is in heaven,

uphold the holiness of your name.

¹⁰ Bring in your kingdom

so that your will is done on earth as it’s done in heaven.

¹¹ Give us the bread we need for today.

¹² Forgive us for the ways we have wronged you,

just as we also forgive those who have wronged us.

¹³ And don’t lead us into temptation,

but rescue us from the evil one.
