Luke 11:4

“And forgive us our sins, etc.] Beza's most ancient copy reads “debts”, as in (see Gill on “<400612>Matthew 6:12”); and which best agrees with the phrase “indebted”, after mentioned: for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil; (see Gill on “<400612>Matthew 6:12”), (see Gill on “<400613>Matthew 6:13”). The doxology there used, and the word “Amen”, are here omitted. Some of the petitions in this prayer are not delivered in the very same words as they are in Matthew. The three first petitions are word for word the same; for though the third petition is different in our translation, it is the same in the original. The fourth and…”

“See this passage explained in the notes at Matthew 6:9-13. Luke 11:4 For we also forgive ... - This is somewhat different from the expression in Matthew, though the sense is the same. The idea is, that unless we forgive others, God will not forgive us; and unless we come to him “really” forgiving all others, we cannot expect pardon. It does not mean that by forgiving others we “deserve” forgiveness ourselves, or “merit it,” but that this is a disposition or state of mind without which God cannot consistently pardon us. Every one that is indebted to us - Every one that has “injured” us. This does not refer to pecuniary transactions, but to offences similar to those which “we” have committed…”

“Forgive us; for we forgive them - Not once, but continually. This does not denote the meritorious cause of our pardon; but the removal of that hinderance which otherwise would render it impossible. Luke 11:5”

“11:4 And don’t let us yield to temptation: This is a difficult phrase in the Greek. God does not tempt his people (Jas 1:13), but since testing is a growth-producing part of our Christian life (Jas 1:2-4), should believers pray to avoid it? The phrase probably means “protect us during temptation.””
