αὐτῶν, οὐδὲ ὑμῖν ἀφήσει ὁ Πατὴρ ὑμῶν ὁ οὐράνιος
τὰ παραπτώματα ὑμῶν. διὸ μὴ μνησικακήσῃς
τοῖς πταίουσιν: ἀλλά, συγγνώμην αἰτούμενος
ἁμαρτημάτων, συγγίνωσκε καὶ αὐτὸς τοῖς

ὑμῖν: ἀλλὰ καθαρὸν καὶ ἄδολον τὸν θεῖον διατήρησον
σπόρον, ἵνα πολύχουν τὸν καρπὸν ὑποδείξῃς
τῷ δεσπότῃ, ἡνίκα ἔλθῃ λόγον ἀπαιτῶν
