What the source reads — And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
What this version reads — And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
The closing doxology of the Lord's Prayer is absent from the earliest manuscripts; it grew in the Byzantine liturgical tradition and the KJV kept it. Familiar to every churchgoer, yet a later addition.

What the source reads — e non ci indurre in tentazione (the Greek mḕ eisenénkēs, 'do not lead us in'; so the Vulgate ne nos inducas, and every older Italian — Diodati, Martini, CEI 1974)
What this version reads — e non abbandonarci alla tentazione (CEI 2008 — 'do not abandon us to temptation')
The Greek verb literally means 'bring / lead into', and every older version rendered it so. The CEI 2008 rewrote this line of the Lord's Prayer to 'do not abandon us to temptation' — a pastoral reading resting on the fact that God tempts no one (James 1:13), openly debated and approved for the liturgy in 2020. A genuine rendering change of the modern edition; the motive is stated, not hidden — which is why it sits here as documented, not as a 'manipulation'. Verified against the official CEI 2008 text.
