Commentary— Tyndale Open Study Notes (plain English)
6:13 And don’t let us yield to temptation: Just as Jesus was tested (4:1-11), temptation will test the disciple’s character. Jesus urges prayer for God’s enabling to stand the test (see 26:41; Ps 141:4). • from the evil one: Or from evil. The alternate reading refers to sin in general; the NLT reading refers to Satan, the tempter (see Jas 1:13). • The doxology appended to some manuscripts was added later (probably based on 1 Chr 29:11-13) to tailor the prayer to the liturgy.
