[1] God has made Himself known via His name, but also by His attributes, ordinances, Word, creation, and providence. From this knowledge, God’s name is better known and understood. By acknowledging the credit and glory due God for His attributes, ordinances, Word, creation, and providence, we glorify His name.
[2] It is clear from Matthew 6:14–15 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) that if we do not forgive others, God will not forgive us. Conversely, if we forgive others, then God will forgive us—if we are believers in Christ. It is important to realize that forgiveness is from grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone (Ephesians 2:8–10 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ). Thus, if we forgive others, it is not the cause or grounds of our forgiveness by God, but is rather evidence of saving faith. Likewise, an unforgiving heart is evidence of lack of saving faith. With this in mind, we can then understand how our having a forgiving heart can encourage us to seek God’s forgiveness of us (last sentence of A. 105): We see the evidence of saving grace in our hearts and are thus encouraged to go boldly to the throne of grace (Hebrews 4:16 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ). The fifth petition is spoken from the perspective of a believer who has a forgiving spirit.
[3] The Greek has, literally, “the evil.” This leads to the translation, “the evil one,” on the assumption that the evil one is implied. Other translators ignore the definite article and simply translate “evil.”
[4] Some ancient manuscripts omit from the end of Matthew 6:13 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) , “For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.” Thus some translations omit, even without mention, this final text. Whether or not to include this text is a matter of textual criticism and translator’s judgment into which this editor will not venture.
