SCRIPTURE COMMENTARY # 337

So shall also my heavenly Father do unto you, if ye forgive not every one his brother from your hearts." (Matt. 18:35)

THE FIFTH PETITION OF THE 'OUR FATHER' is explained by this parable; it being clearly shown that he who does not forgive his fellow-men "from his heart," cannot obtain forgiveness from God, but will be rejected by Him, and banished for ever from His Presence.

[From 'A Practical Commentary on Holy Scripture' by Bishop Knecht, D.D.]
(1899 Douay-Rheims Bible)
