<P> Interpretations of the penultimate petition of the prayer--not to be led by God into peirasmos--vary considerably . The range of meanings of the Greek word "πειρασμός" (peirasmos) is illustrated in New Testament Greek lexicons . In different contexts it can mean temptation, testing, trial, experiment . Although the traditional English translation uses the word "temptation" and Carl Jung saw God as actually leading people astray, Christians generally interpret the petition as not contradicting James 1: 13--14: "Let no one say when he is tempted,' I am being tempted by God', for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempts no one . But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire ." Some see the petition as an eschatological appeal against unfavourable Last Judgment, a theory supported by the use of the word "peirasmos" in this sense in Revelation 3: 10 . Others see it as a plea against hard tests described elsewhere in scripture, such as those of Job . It is also read as: "Do not let us be led (by ourselves, by others, by Satan) into temptations". Since it follows shortly after a plea for daily bread (i.e., material sustenance), it is also seen as referring to not being caught up in the material pleasures given . A similar phrase appears in Matthew 26: 41 and Luke 22: 40 in connection with the prayer of Jesus in Gethsemane . </P> <P> Joseph Smith, the founder of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter - day Saints, in a translation of the Holy Bible which was not completed before his death, used this wording: "And suffer us not to be led into temptation". </P> <P> In 2017, Pope Francis, speaking on the Italian TV channel TV2000, proposed that the wording be changed to "do not let us fall into temptation", explaining that "I am the one who falls; it's not him (ie God) pushing me into temptation to then see how I have fallen". The Anglican theologian Ian Paul has highlighted how such a proposal is "stepping into a theological debate about the nature of evil". </P> <P> "But deliver us from evil:" </P>
