126. Q.

What is the fifth petition?

A.
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
