About This Book

An abridged question-and-answer exposition of a Lutheran catechism, translated into plain English for young readers, offers clear explanations of the Ten Commandments, the three articles of the Creed (creation, redemption, sanctification), and the Lord's Prayer. Each brief question prompts a concise answer that interprets theological phrases, links doctrine to everyday duties, and emphasizes fearing, loving, and trusting God, repentance and forgiveness, and right conduct. Scripture quotations are used to support the explanations, and the translator prioritizes simplicity and devotional clarity while preserving the catechetical teaching structure.

320. What are our weapons against temptation?

We must use the Word of God, watch and pray, and take care not to invite temptation.

Matt. 26:41. Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation.

Eph. 6:13. Take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.


THE SEVENTH PETITION.

But deliver us from evil.

That is,

We pray in this petition, in general, that our Father in heaven would deliver us from all evil, affecting body and soul, property and honor, and at last grant us a blessed end, and graciously take us from this world of sorrow to Himself in heaven.
