第一百二十七问
Q. What does the sixth petition mean?
第六个祈愿是什么意思？
A. “And do not bring us to the time of trial, but rescue us from the evil one” means: By ourselves we are too weak to hold our own even for a moment. [1] And our sworn enemies— the devil, [2] the world, [3] and our own flesh — [4] never stop attacking us. And so, Lord, uphold us and make us strong with the strength of your Holy Spirit, so that we may not go down to defeat in this spiritual struggle, [5] but may firmly resist our enemies until we finally win the complete victory. [6]
“不叫我们遇见试探，救我们脱离凶恶”表明： 我们本身如此软弱，甚至一刻也不能站稳[1]。 此外，我们的不共戴天的仇敌——魔鬼[2]，世界[3]和自己肉体的情欲[4]——不断攻击我们。 因此恳求主用圣灵的大能保守我们，坚固我们，好叫我们在这场属灵争战中不致软弱被仇敌胜过[5]， 反而能以坚定地抵挡仇敌，直到最后完全得胜[6]。

第一百二十八问
Q. What does your conclusion to this prayer mean?
你的祷告的总结是什么意思？
A. For the kingdom and the power and the glory are yours forever” means: We have made all these petitions of you because, as our all-powerful king, you are both willing and able to give us all that is good; [1] and because your holy name, and not we ourselves, should receive all the praise, forever. [2]
“因为国度、权柄、荣耀，全是你的，直到永远。”表明： 我们已经向你祈求这一切，因为你是我们全能的王，你愿意也能够将一切的好处赐给我们[1]； 唯有你的圣名而非我们，当得着荣耀，直到永远[2]。

第一百二十九问
Q. What does that little word “Amen” express?
短语“阿门”表示什么？
A. “Amen” means: This shall truly and surely be! It is even more sure that God listens to my prayer than that I really desire what I pray for. [1]
“阿们”表明： 这些祈求是确实的，并且必要成就！ 神听我的祷告这件事，比我对于我所求的事物的想望更为确实。[1]
