“Hear, O Israel: (A)The Lord our God, the Lord is one.[a] You (B)shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. And (C)these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. (D)You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise. (E)You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. (F)You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.

The Lord's Prayer

“And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For they love (A)to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others. (B)Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you pray, (C)go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. (D)And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.

“And when you pray, do not heap up empty phrases as (E)the Gentiles do, for (F)they think that they will be heard (G)for their many words. Do not be like them, (H)for your Father knows what you need before you ask him. (I)Pray then like this:

(J)“Our Father in heaven,
(K)hallowed be (L)your name.[a]
10 (M)Your kingdom come,
(N)your will be done,[b]
    (O)on earth as it is in heaven.
11 (P)Give us (Q)this day our daily bread,[c]
12 and forgive us our debts,
    as we also have forgiven our debtors.
13 And (R)lead us not into temptation,
    but (S)deliver us from (T)evil.[d]
