The fact is that the KJV is about the only modern translation that has it in Matthew 6:13.
The Douay-Rheims Bible which came out 2 years prior to King James reads as follows. “13 And lead us not into temptation. But deliver us from evil. Amen.” and the Latin Vulgate, from which both translations were made reads, "13 et ne inducas nos in temptationem sed libera nos a malo ", so it’s not in there either.

NAB does not have it or a footnote.
RSV does not.
NRSV does not.
The Nova Vulgata does not. (13 et ne inducas nos in tentationem, sed libera nos a Malo.)

A check of Most modern Bibles will find it omitted with a footnote like: (NIV) “Matthew 6:13 Or from evil; some late manuscripts one, / for yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.”

NASB reads as follows though, “13’And do not lead us into temptation, but (A)deliver us from (B)evil. [For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.]’” without a footnote, but the American Standard Version, which it revises reads, “13 And bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.’” :ehh:

(I won’t deal with The Message Bible. It bears no resemblance to the original text. :rolleyes: )

Amplified Bible has it…
NLT does not but has a footnote.
English Standard Version does not.
CEV does not but has a footnote.
NKJV includes it but footnote says, “NU-Text omits For Yours through Amen.”
21st Century King James Version has it.
Good News Bible does not.
Young’s Literal Translation reads, “13`And mayest Thou not lead us to temptation, but deliver us from the evil, because Thine is the reign, and the power, and the glory – to the ages. Amen.”
Wycliffe New Testament does not have it.
Weymouth New Testament does not have it.

So it appears that consensus is that it does not belong since it is not in the earliest manuscripts. It may well be that some early copyist later included it because they were familiar with the Didache, but textual evidence would reject it.
Pax Domini sit semper vobiscum,
 
My quote of the CCC further up the thread answers this question. “For the Kingdom…” is not a part of the Lord’s Prayer. It is an early liturgical doxology, which likely got incorporated into manuscript of the bible early on. Most Catholic and Protestant commentaries agree that “For the Kingdom…” was not a part of the original Lord’s Prayer…
I agree. The NRSV has a note the says, “Other ancient authorities add, in some form, For the kingdom and the power and the glory are yours forever. Amen.” I like to add the doxology to the Lord’s Prayer when I say it because even if it was not originally in the Bible, praising God is always a good thing, and I like to say my own prayers anyway, not just prayers that are in the Bible or in Catholic prayer books. He is not going to dislike my praise, and I probably should be praising Him more than I do anyway!**
