LORD’S DAY 51

126. What is the fifth petition?

“And forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors,” that is, be pleased, for the sake of Christ’s blood, not to impute to us miserable sinners our manifold transgressions, nor the evil which always clings to us;¹ as we also find this witness of Your grace in us, that it is our full purpose heartily to forgive our neighbor.²

Zacharias Ursinus & Caspar Olevianus, 1563
