The King James Bible (1611)
Our father which art in heauen, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdome come. Thy will be done, in earth, as it is in heauen. Giue vs this day our daily bread. And forgiue vs our debts, as we forgiue our debters. And lead vs not into temptation, but deliuer vs from euill: For thine is the kingdome, and the power, and the glory, for euer, Amen.
Modern English
Book of Common Prayer (1928)
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. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.
The New Testament in Modern English (1963, tr. Phillips)
Our Heavenly Father, may your name be honored; May your kingdom come, and your will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day the bread we need, Forgive us what we owe to you, as we have also forgiven those who owe anything to us. Keep us clear of temptation, and save us from evil.
The Alba House New Testament (1970, tr. Condon)
Our Father in Heaven, let your holy name be known, let your kingdom come, and your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today the bread that we need, and forgive us our wrongs, as we forgive those who have done wrong to us. Do not lead us into trial, but save us from evil.

Go online and find out what the state and local sales tax rates are. For example, in Texas, the state sales tax rate is 6.25 percent, and the local sales tax in Burkburnett, TX, is 2 percent for a combined sales and use tax of 8.25 percent, which is the maximum allowed in Texas. Once you have established what the sales tax is in the local area, price four (4) different products online and in local retail stores, comparing what you would pay online without paying local sales tax and paying locally for the same products. Then, share what they have found with the class on the Discussion Board.
What product had the greatest discrepancy between the cost of an online purchase and a local purchase? Which product(s) had very little difference in the price if purchased online versus purchasing locally? Why do you think this is the case. Does knowing that purchasing items online, thereby avoiding local taxes and ultimately decreasing the amount of money state and local governments bring in to provide services to citizens, influence their purchasing decisions in any way? Does knowing that purchasing items online to avoid local taxes hurts local businesses affect their decisions in any way?
