Hear, O Israel: the LORD our God is one LORD: * 5 and thou shalt love the

LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy

might. 6 And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be upon

thine heart: 7 and thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and

shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest

by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. 8 And

thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be for

frontlets between thine eyes. 9 And thou shalt write them upon the door

posts of thy house, and upon thy gates.

The Lord’s Prayer

Our Father, which art in heaven,

Hallowed be thy Name.

Thy kingdom come.

Thy will be done,

in earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our trespasses,

As we forgive them that trespass against

us.

And lead us not into temptation;

But deliver us from evil:

[For thine is the kingdom, The power,

and the glory,

For ever and ever.] Amen.

Our Father in heaven,

hallowed be your name,

your kingdom come,

your will be done,

on earth as in heaven.

Give us today our daily bread.

Forgive us our sins

as we forgive those who sin

against us.

Save us from the time of trial

and deliver us from evil.

[For the kingdom, the power, and

the glory are yours

now and for ever.] Amen.

Matthew 6:9-13 (KJV)

After this manner therefore pray ye: Our

Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be

thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be

done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this

day our daily bread. And forgive us our

debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead

us not into temptation, but deliver us from

evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the

power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

Luke 11:2-4 (KJV)

And he said unto them, When ye

pray, say, Our Father which art in

heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy

kingdom come. Thy will be done, as

in heaven, so in earth. Give us day

by day our daily bread. And forgive

us our sins; for we also forgive every

one that is indebted to us. And lead

us not into temptation; but deliver

us from evil.
