Which 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 poor sinners, our transgressions, nor that depravity, which always cleaves to us; [373] even as we feel this evidence of thy grace in us, that it is our firm resolution from the heart to forgive our neighbour. [374] Footnotes: [373] Ps. 51:1-7; Ps. 143:2; 1 John 2:1, 2; Rom. 8:1. [374] Matt. 6:14, 15. |
