King James Version After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. 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.

MrGene's explanation  Not your earthly Dad, God. Remember to honor even his mighty name! God has power over us, but let's us make choices. Here we ask that HIS WILL is done, above ours! Give us the things we need to survive! In this case, debt means sin. Forgive us our sins as much as we forgave people that sinned against us. Don't put us where we will want to sin. Keep the devil away from us. Because you have all of the power!

NIV Version This, then, is how you should pray:   Our Father in heaven, hollowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.
