²³For most certainly I tell you, whoever may tell this mountain, ‘Be taken up and cast into the sea,’ and doesn’t doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says is happening; he shall have whatever he says.

²⁴Therefore I tell you, all things whatever you pray and ask for, believe that you have received them, and you shall have them.

²⁶But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your transgressions.”

²⁶But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.
