Question #150
of An Orthodox Catechism
Question
What is the sixth Petition?
Answer
Lead us not into Temptation, but deliver us from Evil. That is, because we our selves, are so feeble and weak by Nature, that1 we cannot stand so much as one Moment or Instant, and our most deadly Enemies2 Satan, the3 World, and our own4 Flesh do incessantly oppugne and assault us, uphold thou us, and establish and strengthen us by the might of thy Spirit, that we may not in this spiritual5 Combat yield as vanquished, but may so long stoutly withstand them, until at length6 we get the full and perfect victory.
