This OET Readers’ Version was designed to be used with the Literal Version alongside, so you won’t get the best understanding from this single viewpoint. This is still an early look into the drafted text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.

Teaching about praying

Mat 6:5–15

Luke 11:2–4

5 “Whenever you pray, don’t be like the hypocrites who love to pray in the Jewish meeting halls and on street corners so everyone will notice them. I can assure you that they’ve already received their reward in full.[ref] 6 Instead, when you pray, go into a private room and shut the door, then pray to your father who’s not visible to you. Then your father who sees everything will reward you.

7 “And when you do pray, don’t babble away like people of other religions who think they’ll be listened to just because of how much they pray. 8 There’s no need to be like them, because God your father already knows your needs before you even ask him. 9 So pray like this:

‘Our father in the heavens,

we want your name to be honoured forever.

10 We want your kingdom to come

and your plans to be fulfilled here on earth just like they are in heaven.

11 Give us everything we need today

12 and write off what we owe you

as we also write off what others owe us.

13 Don’t bring us to the point of being tempted,

but keep us away from doing evil things.’

14 “Because if you people forgive other people’s wrongs, then your heavenly father will also forgive your wrongs.[ref] 15 But if you don’t forgive other people’s wrongs, then your father won’t forgive your wrongs either.


2 So Yeshua told them, “Whenever you all pray, say this:

Father, may all people honour you as their holy God.

May you reign as king over the earth.

3 Every day give us the food that we need.

4 Forgive us for our sins because we’ve forgiven those who owed something to us.

Don’t bring us into situations where we’re tempted.”

Collected OET-RV cross-references

Luk 18:10-14:

10 “Once two men went into the temple to pray—one was a Pharisee party member and the other was a tax-collector. 11 The Pharisee stood there praying quietly, ‘I thank you, God, that I’m not like the rest of the people: swindlers, sinners, adulterers, and even that tax-collector. 12 I fast twice a week and I give a tenth of everything I get.’ 13 But the tax-collector stood at a distance, not even willing to raise his head, instead beating his chest and saying, ‘God, I’m a sinner, take away my guilt.’ 14 I’m telling you all that this man went home after being declared guiltless, not the other one, because all those who praise themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be praised.”[ref]


18:14: Mat 23:12; Luk 14:11.

Mrk 11:25-26:

25 Whenever you are standing praying, if you have something against someone, be sure to forgive them so that your father in heaven can also forgive your shortcomings.”[ref]

11:25-26: Mat 6:14-15.
