Mathayo 6:5-10
5
“Nanyi msalipo, msiwe kama wanafiki, maana wao hupenda kusali wakiwa wamesimama katika masinagogi na kando ya barabara ili waonekane na watu. Amin nawaambia, wao wamekwisha kupata thawabu yao.
6
Lakini wewe unaposali, ingia chumbani mwako, funga mlango na umwombe Baba yako aliye sirini. Naye Baba yako aonaye sirini atakupa thawabu yako.
7
Nanyi mnaposali msiseme maneno kama wafanyavyo watu wasiomjua Mungu. Kwa maana wao hudhani kwamba watasikiwa kwa sababu ya wingi wa maneno yao.
8
Msiwe kama wao, kwa sababu Baba yenu anajua kile mnachohitaji kabla hamjamwomba.
9
“Hivi basi, ndivyo iwapasavyo kuomba: “ ‘Baba yetu uliye mbinguni, Jina lako litukuzwe.
10
Ufalme wako uje. Mapenzi yako yafanyike hapa duniani kama huko mbinguni.
