Matthew 6:14-16

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁴ Then Jesus said, ‘When other people do wrong things against you, you must forgive them. Then God, your Father in heaven, will also forgive you for the wrong things that you have done. ¹⁵ But if you do not forgive other people, then your Father will not forgive you.’

Jesus teaches people about different things

¹⁶ Jesus then said, ‘You may decide to fast for some time.^[a] But do not look sad so that people know you are doing a special thing. Hypocrites want people to see how good they are. They make their faces dirty. Then other people can see that they are fasting. I tell you this: people have praised them and that is the only gift that they will get.
