Therefore the kingdom of the heavens is like unto a kingly man, who wished to make a reckoning with his servants. And he beginning to reckon, one was brought to him owing him myriads of talents. And he not having wherewith to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all things so many as he had, and payment to be made. read more.
Then that servant falling down, continued to worship him, saying, Be patient with me, and I will pay you all. The lord of that servant, being moved with compassion, sent him away, and forgave him the debt. And that servant having gone out, found one of his fellow-servants, who owed him one hundred denaria: seized him, throttled him, saying, Pay me what you owe me. Then his fellow-servant falling down, continued to intreat him, saying, Be patient with me and I will pay thee. And he was not willing: but having gone away he cast him into prison, until he could pay that which was owing. Then his fellow-servants seeing those things which had taken place, were grieved exceedingly, and coming related to their lord all the things which transpired. Then his lord calling him says to him, Thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, since thou didst intreat me: did it not behoove thee also to have mercy on thy fellow-servant, as I had mercy on thee? And his lord being angry delivered him to the tormenters, until he should pay all that was due him. Thus my Heavenly Father will also do unto you, if you do not forgive each one his brother from your hearts.

But take heed that you do not your righteousness before the people, in order to be seen by them: else you have no reward with your Father who is in the heavens: therefore when you may do alms, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, in order that they may be glorified by the people: truly I say unto you, They exhaust their reward. But thou doing alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth: read more.
in order that thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father who sees in secret will reward thee openly. And when you pray, be not like the hypocrites: because they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, in order that they may appear unto the people. Truly I say unto you, They exhaust their reward. But when thou mayest pray, enter into thy closet, and having closed thy door, pray to thy Father who is in secret, and thy Father who seeth in secret will reward thee openly. And praying do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do: for they think they shall be heard in their much speaking. Therefore be not like unto them: for your Father knows of what things you have need, before you ask him. Therefore pray ye after this manner: Our Father who art in the heavens, let thy name be hallowed: let thy kingdom come: let thy will be done, as in heaven, even so upon earth: give us this day our daily bread: and forgive us our debts, as we have also forgiven our debtors: lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For if you may not forgive the people their trespasses, your heavenly Father will not forgive you: and if you do not forgive the people, your Father will not forgive you your trespasses. And when you may fast, be not like the hypocrites, of a sad contenance: for they disfigure their faces, in order that they may appear unto the people fasting. Truly I say unto you, They exhaust their reward. But thou, fasting, anoint thy head, and wash thy face; in order that thou mayest not appear unto the people fasting, but to thy Father who is in secret: and thy Father, who seeth in secret, will reward thee openly.
