Matthew 6:13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For your is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. I. That is principally from sin, or evil, (1) moral and spiritual; or evil, (2) penal and afflictive. From all (3) mischief, from the (4) root of all evil. II. We absolutely request of God that He, in His mercy, would also deliver and free us from (1) remorse of conscience, (2) anguish of spirit for having violated His laws, and neglect of duty; from (3) blindness of mind, (4) hardness of heart, (5) want of love, reverence, devotion toward God; of (6) charity and good-will toward our neighbour. III. We are hereby taught not to be studiously punctual and particular in oar prayers, as if God needed our information, or were apt to neglect the particulars concerning our good. (Isaac Barrow, D. D.) Parallel Verses KJV: And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. |
