Matthew 6:6-8

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁶ But thou when thou shalt pray, enter into thy chamber, and having shut the door, pray to thy Father in secret: and thy Father who seeth in secret will repay thee.

⁷ And when you are praying, speak not much, as the heathens. For they think that in their much speaking they may be heard.

⁸ Be not you therefore like to them, for your Father knoweth what is needful for you, before you ask him.
