But if you do not forgive
The phrase "But if you do not forgive" introduces a conditional statement that emphasizes the necessity of forgiveness in the life of a believer. The Greek word for "forgive" here is "ἀφίημι" (aphiēmi), which means to send away, let go, or release. In the context of first-century Jewish culture, forgiveness was not merely an emotional release but a conscious decision to let go of debts or offenses. This reflects the broader biblical principle that forgiveness is an act of will, aligning with God's nature and His commands. The conditional "if" underscores the personal responsibility and choice involved in the act of forgiving others.

neither will your Father in heaven forgive
This phrase highlights the reciprocal nature of forgiveness in the Christian faith. The Greek word for "forgive" is again "ἀφίημι," reinforcing the idea of releasing or letting go. The use of "your Father in heaven" personalizes the relationship between the believer and God, emphasizing that God is not a distant deity but a loving Father who desires a close relationship with His children. The phrase serves as a sobering reminder that our relationship with God is deeply interconnected with our relationships with others. The historical context of this teaching reflects the Jewish understanding of God as a just and merciful Father, who expects His children to emulate His character.

your trespasses
The term "trespasses" is translated from the Greek word "παραπτώματα" (paraptōmata), which refers to lapses, faults, or offenses. In the biblical context, trespasses are not just minor mistakes but violations of God's law and moral order. The use of "your" personalizes the offenses, reminding believers of their own need for forgiveness. This phrase serves as a humbling reminder of the human condition and the universal need for God's grace. The historical and scriptural context of this term points to the broader biblical narrative of sin and redemption, where forgiveness is central to the message of the Gospel. The call to forgive others is a reflection of the forgiveness we have received through Christ, and it is a vital component of living out the Christian faith authentically.

Verse 26. - There appears to be sufficient evidence to justify the Revisers in their omission of this verse; although its omission or retention does not affect the general exegesis of the passage.
