"Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him."
— Matthew 6:8, NET Bible
“Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.”
“Be not therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him. ”
“Therefore don't be like them, for your Father knows what things you need, before you ask him.”
“Be not you therefore like to them for your Father knoweth what is needful for you, before you ask him.”
“So be not like them; because your Father has knowledge of your needs even before you make your requests to him.”
“Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.”
Private Prayer“Whenever you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, because they love to pray while standing in synagogues and on street corners so that people can see them. Truly I say to you, they have their reward!
But whenever you pray, go into your inner room, close the door, and pray to your Father in secret. And your Father, who sees in secret, will reward you.
When you pray, do not babble repetitiously like the Gentiles, because they think that by their many words they will be heard.
Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.
So pray this way: Our Father in heaven, may your name be honored,
may your kingdom come, may your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
