Q1: What do we ask in the Fifth Petition; And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive them that trespass against us?
A1: In the Fifth Petition: And forgive us our trespasses as we forgive them that trespass against us, we ask God to pardon us our sins as we pardon those who offend us.
Q2: Why are our sins called debts?
A2: Our sins are called debts, because we must satisfy God’s justice for them either in this life or in the next.
Q3: Can those who do not forgive their neighbour hope that God will pardon them?
A3: Those who do not forgive their neighbour have no reason to hope that God will pardon them; especially since they condemn themselves when they ask God to forgive them as they forgive their neighbour.
