Question 126 - What is the fifth petition?

Answer - And 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 Thy grace in us that we are fully determined wholeheartedly to forgive our neighbor.²
