Matthew 6:8 in Context — Matthew 6

6 Mais quand tu pries,entre dans ta chambre, ferme ta porte, et prie ton Père qui est là dans le lieu secret; et ton Père, qui voit dans le secret, te le rendra.

7 En priant,ne multipliez pas de vaines paroles, comme les païens, qui s’imaginent qu’à force de paroles ils seront exaucés.

8 Ne leur ressemblez pas; car votre Père sait de quoi vous avez besoin, avant que vous le lui demandiez.

9 Voici donc comment vous devez prier:Notre Père qui es aux cieux! Que ton nom soit sanctifié;

10 que ton règne vienne; que ta volonté soit faite sur la terre comme au ciel.
