9 “Pray, then, [a]in this way:
‘Our Father, who is in heaven,
[b]Hallowed be Your name.
10 ‘[c]Your kingdom come,
Your [d]will be done
On earth as it is in heaven.
11 ‘Give us this day our [e]daily bread.
12 ‘And forgive us our [f]debts, as we have forgiven our debtors
[letting go of both the wrong and the resentment].
13 ‘And do not [g]lead us into temptation, but deliver us from [h]evil.
[i][For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.]’
