10 Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
11 Give us this day our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom,
and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. '"

11 Give us this day [our daily bread]¹.
12 And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.
13 And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from [evil] ².

10 your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
11 Give us today our daily bread.
12 Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from [the evil one]¹.' "

[1]13 Or "from evil"; some late manuscripts "...one, for yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. "

COMMENT: Why would translators omit the affirming point of the last of verse 13? What could be the point in the omission?
