Matthew 6:7 in Context — Matthew 6
5 Y cuando oras, no seas como los hipócritas; porque ellos aman el orar en las sinagogas, y en los cantones de las calles en pie, para ser vistos de los hombres: de cierto os digo, que ya tienen su pago.
6 Mas tú, cuando oras, éntrate en tu cámara, y cerrada tu puerta, ora á tu Padre que está en secreto; y tu Padre que ve en secreto, te recompensará en público.
7 Y orando, no seáis prolijos, como los Gentiles; que piensan que por su parlería serán oídos.
8 No os hagáis, pues, semejantes á ellos; porque vuestro Padre sabe de qué cosas tenéis necesidad, antes que vosotros le pidáis.
9 Vosotros pues, oraréis así: Padre nuestro que estás en los cielos, santificado sea tu nombre.
