14. For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:
15. But if you forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
16. Moreover when you 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.
17. But you, when you fast, anoint your head, and wash your face;
18. That you appear not unto men to fast, but unto your Father who is in secret: and your Father, who sees in secret, shall reward you openly.
