⁷你們祈禱時，不要嘮嘮叨叨，如同外邦人一樣，因為他們以為只要多言，便可獲得垂允。

⁷And when you are praying, speak not much, as the heathens. For they think that in their much speaking they may be heard.

⁸你們不要跟他們一樣，因為你們的父，在你們求他以前，已知道你們需要什麼。

⁸Be not you therefore like to them, for your Father knoweth what is needful for you, before you ask him.

⁹所以，你們應當這樣祈禱：我們在天的父！願你的名被尊為聖，

⁹Thus therefore shall you pray: Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.

¹⁰願你的國來臨，願你的旨意承行於地，如在天上一樣！

¹⁰Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

¹¹我們的日用糧，求你今天賜給我們；

¹¹Give us this day our supersubstantial bread.

¹²寬免我們的罪債，猶如我們也寬免得罪我們的人；

¹²And forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors.

¹³不要讓我們陷入誘惑，但救我們免於凶惡。

¹³And lead us not into temptation. But deliver us from evil. Amen.

¹⁴因為你們若寬免別人的過犯，你們的天父也必寬免你們的；

¹⁴For if you will forgive men their offences, your heavenly Father will forgive you also your offences.

¹⁵但你們若不寬免別人的，你們的父也必不寬免你們的過犯。

¹⁵But if you will not forgive men, neither will your Father forgive you your offences.
