But if you do not forgive the wrongs people have done [to you], neither will your Father forgive the wrongs you have done [to Him].
In the same way my heavenly Father will also deal with you [i.e., punish you] unless every one of you forgives his brother from the heart.”
“Those persons who show mercy [toward others] are blessed because they will be shown mercy [themselves].
For if you forgive the wrongs people have done [to you], your heavenly Father will also forgive the wrongs you have done [to Him].
