^14 (A)For if you forgive other people for their ^[a]offenses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. ¹⁵ But ^(B)if you do not forgive other people, then your Father will not forgive your ^[b]offenses.

¹³ For ^(A)judgment will be merciless to one who has shown no mercy; mercy ^[a]triumphs over judgment.

³⁷ “^(A)Do not ^[a]judge, and you will not be judged; and do not ^[b]condemn, and you will not be condemned; ^[c](B)pardon, and you will be pardoned.

³² Then summoning him, his master *said to him, ‘You wicked slave, I forgave you all that debt because you pleaded with me. ^33 (A)Should you not also have had mercy on your fellow slave, in the same way that I had mercy on you?’ ³⁴ And his master, moved with anger, handed him over to the ^[a]torturers until he would repay all that was owed him. ^35 (B)My heavenly Father will also do the same to you, if each of you does not forgive his brother from your ^[b]heart.”

²² But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother shall be answerable to ^(A)the court; and whoever says to his brother, ‘^[a]You good-for-nothing,’ shall be answerable to ^[b](B)the supreme court; and whoever says, ‘You fool,’ shall be guilty enough to go into the ^[c](C)fiery hell. ²³ Therefore, if you are ^(D)presenting your ^[d]offering at the altar, and there you remember that your brother has something against you, ²⁴ leave your ^[e]offering there before the altar and go; first be ^(E)reconciled to your brother, and then come and present your ^[f]offering. ^25 (F)[g]Come to good terms with your accuser quickly, while you are with him on the way to court, so that your accuser will not hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the officer, and you will not be thrown into prison. ²⁶ Truly I say to you, ^(G)you will not come out of there until you have paid up the last ^[h]quadrans.
