Lord's Prayer

==== King James Version ====
Although [[Matthew 6:12]] uses the term ''debts'', most older English versions of the Lord's Prayer use the term ''trespasses'', while ecumenical versions often use the term ''sins''. The last choice may be due to Luke 11:4,<ref>{{Bibleverse|Luke|11:4}}</ref> which uses the word ''sins'', while the former may be due to [[Matthew 6:14]] (immediately after the text of the prayer), where Jesus speaks of ''trespasses''. As early as the third century, [[Origen of Alexandria]] used the word ''trespasses'' ({{lang|grc|παραπτώματα}}) in the prayer. Although the Latin form that was traditionally used in Western Europe has ''debita'' (''debts''), most English-speaking Christians (except Scottish Presbyterians and some others of the Dutch [[Reformed churches|Reformed]] tradition) use ''trespasses''. For example, the [[Church of Scotland]], the [[Presbyterian Church (USA)]], the [[Reformed Church in America]], as well as some [[Congregational]] heritage churches in the [[United Church of Christ]] follow the version found in [[Matthew 6]] in the [[King James Version]], which in the prayer uses the words ''debts'' and ''debtors''.
