7. And when praying, do not choose many words, as the pagans do. For they think that by their excess of words they might be heeded.
8. Therefore, do not choose to imitate them. For your Father knows what your needs may be, even before you ask him.
9. Therefore, you shall pray in this way: Our Father, who is in heaven: May your name be kept holy.
10. May your kingdom come. May your will be done, as in heaven, so also on earth.
11. Give us this day our life-sustaining bread.
12. And forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors.
