The Lord's Prayer

Matthew 6

King James Version (KJV)

8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.

9 After this manner therefore pray ye: 

Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever.
Amen.

The Seventh day: Saturday, Samedi, sábado

Here is the thing. I haven't been in a French church for the past 45 years or more.

Since my Confirmation (I was 13), I have rarely been to church.

Yet, out of the blue, this payer ran through my mind today:

"Notre Père, qui êtes aux cieux,
que votre nom soit sanctifié,
que votre règne arrive,
que votre volonté soit faite sur la terre comme au ciel.
Donnez-nous aujourd’hui notre pain quotidien.
Pardonnez-nous nos offenses, comme nous pardonnons aussi à ceux qui nous ont offensés.
Et, ne nous laissez pas entrer en tentation, mais délivrez-nous du Mal.
Amen"

I pretty much say it daily in English: Matthew 6:9-13 NKJV

"Our Father in Heaven, Hallowed be your name.
Your Kingdom come, Your Will be done in Earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
Please forgive our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespassed against us.
Don't let us go into temptation, but deliver us from evil:
for yours is the Kingdom, and the Power, and the Glory, for Ever.
Amen"

See, French is my original language. Although I don't get to speak French often (left France at the age of 23, over 40 years ago), I am still able to write and speak it.

My 1st Bible was a KJV version. I since bought an NKJV (much easier to understand).
I often go to the ESV on line, for things that may be inacurately translated.

"Each word and phrase in the ESV has been carefully weighed against the original Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek"
