In this verse from the Lord’s Prayer in the Bible, Jesus is teaching his followers about the importance of forgiveness. By saying “forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors”, Jesus is conveying that people should ask God for forgiveness of their own sins or wrongdoings in the same spirit that they forgive others who have sinned against them.
The verse suggests a reciprocal relationship between the forgiveness we seek from God and the forgiveness we extend to others. It communicates that those who wish to be forgiven themselves should in turn genuinely forgive those who have debts or offenses against them. So the verse is emphasizing the virtue of forgiveness both in our relationship with God as well as our relationships with other people.
