As We Forgive Our Debtors

Rev. Tom Masterson and Maddie Staggs

Scripture

9 Pray then like this:

“Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name.
10 Your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
11 Give us this day our daily bread,
12 and forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.  (ESV)
(For yours is the Kingdom and the Power and the Glory forever, Amen.)

27 “But I say to you who hear, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, 28 bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you. 29 To one who strikes you on the cheek, offer the other also, and from one who takes away your cloak do not withhold your tunic either. 30 Give to everyone who begs from you, and from one who takes away your goods do not demand them back. 31 And as you wish that others would do to you, do so to them.

32 “If you love those who love you, what benefit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. 33 And if you do good to those who do good to you, what benefit is that to you? For even sinners do the same. 34 And if you lend to those from whom you expect to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, to get back the same amount. 35 But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return, and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, for he is kind to the ungrateful and the evil. 36 Be merciful, even as your Father is merciful.

9Vosotros, pues, orad de esta manera: 
“Padre nuestro que estás en los cielos, 
santificado sea tu nombre.
10“Venga tu reino. 
Hágase tu voluntad, 
así en la tierra como en el cielo.
11“Danos hoy el pan nuestro de cada día.
12“Y perdónanos nuestras deudas, como también nosotros hemos perdonado a nuestros deudores.13“Y no nos metas en tentación, mas líbranos del mal. Porque tuyo es el reino y el poder y la gloria para siempre jamás. Amén.”
