18 “Truly say I tʼye, whatsoeʼer ye bind fast on the yirth, sal be bunʼ fast in Heeven; and what ye lowse on yirth sal be lowsed in Heeven.
“And I wull gie tʼye the keys oʼ Heevenʼs Kingdom; and what ye sal bind on the yirth sal be bund in Heeven; and what ye sal lowse on the yirth sal be lowsed in Heeven.”
“Whase sins ye forgie, they sal be forgiʼen to them! and whase sins ye retain, they are retained to them.”
Noo, to ane ye forgie ocht, I too! for eʼen I — what I hae forgien — whaur I forgie ocht — for your sakes I forgie it, afore Christ.
