Holding forth the Word of Life
— Philippians 2:16a (KJV)

Lord’s Day 51

Q126: What is the fifth petition?

And forgive us our debts,

as we also have forgiven our debtors.

That is:

For the sake of Christ’s blood,

do not impute to us, wretched sinners, any of our transgressions, nor the evil which still clings to us,1

as we also find this evidence of your grace in us

that we are fully determined wholeheartedly to forgive our neighbour.2
