Matthew 18:15-35

15And if thy brotherG80 sinG264 against thee, goG5217, show him his fault between thee and him aloneG3441: if he hearG191 thee, thou hast gainedG2770 thy brotherG80. 16But if he hearG191 thee not, takeG3880 with thee oneG1520 or twoG1417 moreG2089, that at the mouthG4750 of twoG1417 witnessesG3144 or threeG5140 every word may be established. 17And if he refuse to hear them, tellG3004 it unto the churchG1577: and if he refuse to hear the churchG1577 alsoG2532, let him beG1510 unto thee as the Gentile and the publican. 18Verily I sayG3004 unto you, What things soever ye shall bindG1210 on earthG1093 shall beG1510 boundG1210 in heavenG3772; and what things soever ye shall looseG3089 on earthG1093 shall beG1510 loosedG3089 in heavenG3772. 19AgainG3825 I sayG3004 unto you, that if twoG1417 of you shall agreeG4856 on earthG1093 as touching anything that they shall askG154, it shall be done for them of my FatherG3962 who is in heavenG3772. 20For whereG3757 twoG1417 or threeG5140 areG1510 gatheredG4863 togetherG4863 in my nameG3686, there amG1510 I in the midstG3319 of them.

21Then cameG4334 PeterG4074 and saidG3004 to him, LordG2962, how oft shall my brotherG80 sinG264 against me, and I forgiveG863 him? until sevenG2034 times? 22JesusG2424 saith unto him, I sayG3004 not unto thee, Until sevenG2033 times; but, Until seventy times sevenG2033. 23Therefore is the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772 likened unto a certain kingG935, who would make a reckoning with his servantsG1401. 24And when he had begunG757 to reckon, oneG1520 was broughtG4374 unto him, that owed him tenG3463 thousandG3463 talentsG5007. 25But forasmuch as he had not wherewith to payG591, his lordG2962 commandedG2753 him to be sold, and his wifeG1135, and childrenG5043, and all that he had, and payment to be made. 26The servantG1401 thereforeG3767 fellG4098 downG4098 and worshipped him, sayingG3004, Lord, have patienceG3114 with me, and I will payG591 thee all. 27And the lordG2962 of that servantG1401, being moved with compassionG4697, releasedG630 him, and forgaveG863 him the debt. 28But that servantG1401 wentG1831 out, and foundG2147 oneG1520 of his fellow-servants, who owedG3784 him a hundredG1540 shillings: and he laidG2902 holdG2902 on him, and tookG2902 him by the throat, sayingG3004, PayG591 what thou owest. 29So his fellow-servant fellG4098 downG4098 and besought him, sayingG3004, Have patienceG3114 with me, and I will payG591 thee. 30And he would not: but wentG565 and castG906 him into prisonG5438, till he should payG591 that which was due. 31So when his fellow-servants sawG3708 what was done, they were exceeding sorry, and cameG2064 and told unto their lordG2962 all that was done. 32ThenG5119 his lordG2962 called him unto him, and saith to him, Thou wickedG4190 servantG1401, I forgaveG863 thee all that debtG3782, because thou besoughtest me: 33shouldest not thou alsoG2532 have had mercyG1653 on thy fellow-servant, evenG2532 as I had mercyG1653 on thee? 34And his lordG2962 was wroth, and deliveredG3860 him to the tormentors, till he should payG591 all that was due. 35So shall alsoG2532 my heavenlyG3770 FatherG3962 do unto you, if ye forgiveG863 not every oneG1538 his brotherG80 from your heartsG2588.
