Traditional version:Our Father, Who art in heaven
Hallowed be Thy Name;
Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us;
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil. Amen.

Our Father, Who is in heaven,
Holy is Your Name;
Your kingdom come,
Your will be done,

as we forgive those who sin against us;
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil. Amen.
