Matthew 6:7

6:7 When¹ you pray, do not babble repetitiously like the Gentiles, because they think that by their many words they will be heard.

Matthew 7:24

Hearing and Doing

7:24 “Everyone² who hears these words of mine and does them is like³ a wise man⁴ who built his house on rock.

7:26 Everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them is like a foolish man who built his house on sand.

¹tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

²tn Grk “Therefore everyone.” Here οὖν (oun) has not been translated.

³tn Grk “will be like.” The same phrase occurs in v. 26.

⁴tn Here and in v. 26 the Greek text reads ἀνήρ (anhr), while the parallel account in Luke 6:47-49 uses ἄνθρωπος (anqrwpo") in vv. 48 and 49.
