Matthew 6:7 in Context — Matthew 6
5 E quando orares, não sejas como os hipócritas; porque eles amam orar em pé nas sinagogas e nas esquinas das ruas para serem vistos pelas pessoas. Em verdade vos digo que já receberam sua recompensa.
6 Porém tu, quando orares, entra em teu quarto, fecha tua porta, e ora a teu Pai, que está em segredo; e teu Pai, que vê em segredo, ele te recompensará em público.
7 E quando orardes, não façais repetições inúteis como os gentios, que pensam que por muito falarem serão ouvidos.
8 Não sejais, pois, semelhantes a eles; porque vosso Pai sabe o que necessitais, antes que vós peçais a ele.
9 Vós, portanto, orareis assim: Pai nosso, que estás nos céus, santificado seja o teu nome.
