Chapter 51: Lord's Day 51
Section 127. Q. 127: What does the sixth petition mean? A. 'And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one' means, By ourselves we are too weak to hold our own even for a moment. And our sworn enemies — the devil, the world, and our own flesh — never stop attacking us. And so, Lord, uphold us and make us strong with the strength of your Holy Spirit, so that we may not go down to defeat in this spiritual struggle, but may firmly resist our enemies until we finally win the complete victory.
Section 128. Q. 128: What does your conclusion to this prayer mean? A. 'For yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever' means, We have made all these petitions of you because, as our all-powerful king, you both want to and are able to give us all that is good; and because your holy name, and not we ourselves, should receive all the glory, forever and ever.
