Hi Bernadette Macy, Welcome to the Forum. I would like to say that there are many, numerous translations of the entire Bible, but I am unable to find one that says forgive us our trespasses, evn though I do remember reciting the prayer that way in my childhood as a Catholic schoolboy. But I looked in my St. Joseph's Catholic Edition and that version says 'debts' as well. It may help to explain the same as I did to my father-in-law when he a scoffer, and said that one Bible says one thing and another Bible says another. Well, I told him that a trespass is the same as a debt, because you did not pay rent to the owner of the property. It goes actually much deeper than that, but I hope it helps. Here are some other translations and what they say, KJV, NKJV, ESV, NASB, NIV: Forgive us our debts, The Message: Keep us forgiven with you and forgiving others. NLV(New Life Version) , NIRV (New International Reader's Version), NLT(New Living Translation): and forgive us our sins, just as we have forgiven those who have sinned against us. CEV, (Contemporary English Version) Forgive us for doing wrong, as we forgive others. WE (Worldwide English), Forgive us for the wrong things we have done, the way we forgive those who have done wrong things to us. |
