The verses around Matthew 6:14.
12And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
13And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
14For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:
15But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
16Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
Verse explanation
Outside the prayer itself, this reinforces the condition already mentioned in the middle of the Lord’s Prayer: forgiving others is directly tied to receiving forgiveness from God.
From the Matthew 6 study in Bible in Stories.
