The Lords Prayer
Matthew 6:9-13
(NIV Study Bible)
The fist 4 verses lead up to the Lords prayer
This will be exactly how it appears in my Bible
Jesus Teaches about Prayer
5"And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for
they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the
street corners to be seen by men. I tell you the truth, they
have received their reward in full. 6 But when you pray, go
into your room, close the door and pray to your Father,
who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done
in secret, will reward you. 7 And when you pray, do not
keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be
heard because of their many words. 8 Do not be like
them, for your Father knows what you need before you
ask Him. 9 "This, then, is how you should pray:"
" Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, 10 your
kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in
heaven. 11 Give us today our daily bread. 12 Forgive us our
debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. 13 And lead us
not into temptation but deliver us from the evil one. "
14"For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your
heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15 But if you do not
forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your
sins.
This is the Lord's Prayer we commonly hear.
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, on earth as it is in
heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us
our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against
us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from
evil. For thine is the Kingdom and the Power and the
Glory Forever.
- AMEN
