As we forgive others who trespass against us. 12. Lead us not into temptation 13. But deliver us from evil, forever and ever. 14. May your kingdom come and your will be done 15. On Earth as it is in Heaven, Amen! 16. Defeat the Devil, wake the dead. 17. Our father, God who was, is, and will be, 18. Hallowed be thy name, Amen!
Commentary: This book sets forth a standard prayer that should be said to praise God. It is a simple prayer. Although short, its meaning and depth is profound, and says more than meaningless long chants. It should be said from the depth of the heart.
