Matthew 6:7

* The two F.O.G. Bibles & Commentary below are currently a work in progress.

And when you pray, do not babble on like pagans, for they think that by their many words they will be heard.
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
In praying, don’t use vain repetitions, as the Gentiles do; for they think that they will be heard for their much speaking.
World English Bible (WEB)
But{G1161} when ye pray{G4336}{(G5740)}, use{G945} not{G3361} vain repetitions{G945}{(G5661)}, as{G5618} the heathen{G1482} do: for{G1063} they think{G1380}{(G5719)} that{G3754} they shall be heard{G1522}{(G5701)} for{G1722} their{G846} much speaking{G4180}.
Strong's King James
(7) But when praying, don't use babbling repetition, exactly as pagans do because they suppose that they are heard in much speaking.
The F.O.G*

The F.O.G Paraphrase
‘And—praying—ye may not use vain repetitions like the nations, for they think that in their much speaking they shall be heard,
