AC 3605 - Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

AC 3605 [2]
... concerning the words in the Lord's prayer,
"Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil;"
in that temptation and evil are rejected
until what is purely angelic, that is, good, remains
without any idea of temptation and of evil,
and this with the added idea of indignation and aversion,
in regard to evil being thought of when the Lord is thought of.
