Luke 11:4 And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation… This note of resemblance, therefore, is not here used as it was in the third petition, for — 1. There that from whence the resemblance is taken is more eminent. Here much meaner, It is there taken from those that are in heaven. But here from us on earth. 2. There it noteth a pattern for doing. Here, an evidence of doing. 3. There it is used for direction, to show what we should do. (W. Gouge.) Parallel Verses KJV: And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil. |
