聖經經文

“This, then, is how you should pray: ” ‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.’ “所以,你們禱告要這樣說:“我們在天上的父,願人都尊你的名為聖。願你的國降臨。願你的旨意行在地上,如同行在天上。我們日用的飲食,今日賜給我們。免我們的債,如同我們免了人的債。不叫我們遇見試探,救我們脫離兇惡。” (馬太6:9-13)
