Debt

As used in the scriptures, money or property owed to another causes the borrower to be in a form of bondage. In another sense, Jesus taught that we should ask the Father to forgive us our debts, or release us from paying the price for our sins—through the Atonement of Jesus Christ—after we have forgiven others for their offences against us (Matt. 6:12; 3 Ne. 13:11).
