²³ Therefore ^(A)if you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you,

Forgiveness and Prayer^(A)

²⁵ “And whenever you stand praying, ^(B)if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses.

² “If a person sins and ^(A)commits a trespass against the Lord by ^(B)lying^[a] to his neighbor about ^(C)what was delivered to him for safekeeping, or about ^[b]a pledge, or about a robbery, or if he has ^(D)extorted from his neighbor, ³ or if he ^(E)has found what was lost and lies concerning it, and ^(F)swears falsely—in any one of these things that a man may do in which he sins: ⁴ then it shall be, because he has sinned and is guilty, that he shall ^[c]restore ^(G)what he has stolen, or the thing which he has extorted, or what was delivered to him for safekeeping, or the lost thing which he found, ⁵ or all that about which he has sworn falsely. He shall ^(H)restore its full value, add one-fifth more to it, and give it to whomever it belongs, on the day of his trespass offering. ⁶ And he shall bring his trespass offering to the Lord, ^(I)a ram without blemish from the flock, with your ^[d]valuation, as a trespass offering, to the priest.

⁴ And Jesus said to him, ^(A)“See that you tell no one; but go your way, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that ^(B)Moses ^(C)commanded, as a testimony to them.”

^24 (A)leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.
