Teaching about praying

Mat 6:5–15

6:5 Teaching about praying

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.[ref] I can assure you that they’ve already received their reward in full. 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.

5 And whenever you _may _be _praying, you _all _will_ not _be like the hypocrites, because they _are _loving to _be _praying in the synagogues and having _stood on the corners of _the roads, so _that they _may _be _seen by _the people.
Truly, I _am _saying to _you _all, they _are _receiving _fully the reward of _them.

6 But you whenever you _may _be _praying, come _in into the private _room of _you and having _shut the door of _you, pray to _the father of _you, who is in the secret, and the father of _you, the one seeing in the secret, will _be _giving _back to _you.

7 And praying, you _all _may_ not _babble as the pagans for they _are _supposing that in the many _messages of _them they _will _be _being _listened _to.

8 Therefore you _all _may_ not _be _likened to _them, because/for the god the father of _you _all has _known what things you _all _are _having need before the time you _all to _request him.

9 Therefore you _all be _praying thus:
father of _us, the one in the heavens, let_ the name of _you _be _sanctified.

10 ˓Let˒_ the kingdom of _you _come, let _be_ the will of _you _become, on earth also as in heaven.

11 Give to _us today the the daily _needed bread of _us.

12 And forgive to _us the debts of _us, as we also forgave to _the debtors of _us.

13 And you _may_ not _carry _in us into temptation, but rescue us from the evil.

14 For/Because if you _all _may _forgive to_ the _people the transgressions of _them, the the heavenly father of _you _all ˓will˒_ also _be _forgiving to _you _all.

15 But if you _all _may_ not _forgive to_ the _people the transgressions of _them, neither ˓will˒_ the father of _you _all _be _forgiving the transgressions of _you _all.

6:5: Luk 18:10-14.

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

Luke 11:2–4

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.”

3 Be _giving the the to _us daily _needed bread of _us, which in _every day.

4 And forgive to _us the sins of _us, because/for also we_ ourselves _are _forgiving to _everyone owing to _us.
And not may _you _carry _in us into temptation.

Luk 18:10-14:

10 “Once two men went into the temple to pray—one was a Farisaios party member and the other was a tax-collector. 11 The Farisaios 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]

10 Two men went _up into the temple to _pray, the one was a_Farisaios_party _member, and the other was a_tax _collector.

11 The Farisaios_party _member having _been _stood was _praying these things to himself:
- god, I _am _giving _thanks to _you that I _am not as the rest of _the people, swindling, unrighteous, adulterers, or even as this the tax _collector.

12 I _am _fasting twice of_ the _a_week, I _am _tithing all things, as _many _as I _am _acquiring.

13 But the tax _collector having _stood afar, was_ not _willing not _even his eyes to _lift _up to the sky, but was _striking the chest of _him saying:
- god, be _made _atonement for _me, the sinner.

14 I _am _saying to _you _all, this one came _down to the house of _him having _been _justified, contrary _to that one.
Because everyone which exalting himself will _be _being _humbled, but the one humbling himself will _be _being _exalted.

25 All of you, whenever you’re standing praying, if you have something against someone, be sure to forgive them so that your father in heaven can also forgive your disobedience.”[ref]
