5 And when you⁺ pray, do not be like the hypocrites. For they love {philousin} to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. Truly I tell you⁺, they already have their full reward.

6 But when you pray, go into your inner room, shut your door, and pray to your Father, who is unseen. And your Father {Patēr}, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

7 And when you pray, do not babble on like pagans {ethnikoi}, for they think that by their many words they will be heard.

8 Do not be like them, for your⁺ Father {Patēr} knows what you⁺ need before you⁺ ask Him.
