to be or...for being

[mattia87]

"i pray to be forgiven"

"i pray for being forgiven"

is there any noteworthy difference?

 

[Ellena]

I would say "I pray to be forgiven". "To + verb" is the way we render the infinitive.

but "pray for someone or something"

 

[SwissPete]

I pray for forgiveness.
