Q126: What is the fifth petition?
A126: 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 cleaves to us;[1] as we also find this witness of Thy grace in us, that it is our full purpose heartily to forgive our neighbor.[2]
1. Psa. 51:1-4; 143:2; I John 2:1-22. Matt. 6:14-15; Psa. 51:5-7; Eph. 1:7
