Jesus said, "If you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses" (Matthew 6:15).
Ngokwesibonelo, uJesu wathi: "Ngoba uma nithethelela abantu iziphambeko zabo, noYihlo osezulwini uzonithethelela nani; kanti uma ningabathetheleli abantu iziphambeko zabo, noYihlo ngeke azithethelele iziphambeko zenu."
