"When you pray, you shall not be as the hypocrites, for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Most assuredly, I tell you, they have received their reward.

In praying, don't use vain repetitions, as the Goyim do; for they think that they will be heard for their much speaking.

Therefore don't be like them, for your Father knows what things you need, before you ask him.

Bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For yours is the kingdom, the power and the glory forever. Amein.'

"For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.

"Moreover when you fast, don't be like the hypocrites, with sad faces. For they disfigure their faces, that they may be seen by men to be fasting. Most assuredly I tell you, they have received their reward.

"Don't lay up treasures for yourselves on the eretz, where moth and rust consume, and where thieves break through and steal;

For the Goyim seek after all these things, for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.

Therefore don't be anxious for tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Each day's own evil is sufficient.

For with whatever judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with whatever measure you measure, it will be measured to you.

For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened.

Or what man is there of you, who, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone?

Or if he asks for a fish, who will give him a serpent?

Therefore whatever you desire for men to do to you, you shall also do to them; for this is the law and the prophets.

"Enter in by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leads to destruction, and many are those who enter in by it.

The rain came down, the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat on that house; and it didn't fall, for it was founded on the rock.
