Matthew 6:15

---

← Matthew 6:14 [words of Jesus]	Matthew 6:15 (KJV) [words of Jesus]	Matthew 6:16 [words of Jesus] →
For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:	But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.	Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
