Q. What does the fifth petition mean?

第五条祈愿是什么意思?


A. “Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors” means: Because of Christ’s blood, do not hold against us, poor sinners that we are, any of the sins we do or the evil that constantly clings to us. [1] Forgive us just as we are fully determined, as evidence of your grace in us, to forgive our neighbors. [2]

“免我们的债,如同我们免了人的债”表明: 因基督宝血的缘故,不将我们这可怜罪人的所是,以及我们所犯的诸罪,以及那仍旧在我们身上的恶,归在我们的身上[1]; 你饶恕我们,正如我们完全确信,我们有你恩典在我们里面作为确据,就是饶恕我们的邻舍[2]。
