Matius 12:31

12:31 For this reason I tell you, people will be forgiven for every sin and blasphemy, ¹  but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven.

Matius 18:35

18:35 So also my heavenly Father will do to you, if each of you does not forgive your ²  brother ³  from your heart.”

[12:31]  ¹ tn Grk “every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men.”

[18:35]  ² tn Grk “his.” The pronoun has been translated to follow English idiom (the last pronoun of the verse [“from your heart”] is second person plural in the original).

[18:35]  ³ tn Here the term “brother” means “fellow believer” or “fellow Christian” (cf. BDAG 18 s.v. ἀδελφός 2.a), whether male or female. Concerning the familial connotations, see also the note on the first occurrence of this term in v. 15.
