"Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen."
This is the version of the Lord's Prayer my church uses. I've heard it used at many other churches when Christians pray the Lord's Prayer together. Since we agree that the Lord's prayer "may also be used as a prayer" (WLC 187) I don't think it'd be helpful to debate how the Lord's Prayer is used as a prayer in worship or other times together of prayer.
I'm really just trying to figure out: where did this translation come from? It does not meet Matthew 6:9-13 in any translation I can find. For example, it begins in the KJV "our Father, which art in heaven." The NASB77 starts the same way and ends the same way as the prayer at the top of the post if you include the bracketed text, but translates verse 12 differently.
None of the BCP versions I can find match the text at the top, which often use "trespasses" instead of "debts" among other differences.
