^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.

^16 [a]Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. ^(A)The effective, ^[b]fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.
