Matthew 6:8


← Matthew 6:7 [words of Jesus] Matthew 6:8 (KJV) [words of Jesus] Matthew 6:9 [words of Jesus] →
But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
