Matthew 6:13 · KJV
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
