Matthew 6:1-18

1 - Takeheed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye haveno reward of your Father which is in heaven.

2 - Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, asthe hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may haveglory of men. 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 11:1

1 - 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.
