Luk 11:4 | TNotes | STEP | 11:4 And don’t let us yield to temptation: This is a difficult phrase in the Greek. God does not tempt his people (Jas 1:13 ), but since testing is a growth-producing part of our Christian life (Jas 1:2-4 ), should believers pray to avoid it? The phrase probably means “protect us during temptation.”
