  Can the verses (of the Lord’s prayer) be arranged in the way as shown below?

  A. 9. Our Father which art in heaven,
  B. Hallowed be thy name.
  C. 10. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it
  is in heaven.
  D. 11. Give us this day our daily bread.
  E. 12. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our
  debtors.
  D

  Hi Benjamin. I like your suggested outline. Jared and I constantly debated various alternate outlines. We have found that “name” almost always falls into an A or an F structure. We have also found that “heaven” almost always falls in a D structure, especially when closely-related to “earth” in the C structure. Lastly, for now, “bread” almost always falls into the E structure. So, while your outline has some level of internal consistency, I would still prefer our outline, as published.
