Matthew 6:5-7

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁵ “Whenever you pray, do not be like the hypocrites. They love to stand and pray in the synagogues and on the street corners so that they may be seen by people. Amen I tell you: They have received their reward. ⁶ But whenever you pray, go into your private room, close your door, and pray to your Father who is unseen. And your Father, who sees what others cannot see, will reward you.^[a]

The Lord’s Prayer

⁷ “And when you pray, do not babble like the heathen, since they think that they will be heard because of their many words.
