Note 1 topic: translate-textvariants

Εἰ δὲ ὑμεῖς οὐκ ἀφίετε οὐδὲ ὁ πατὴρ ὑμῶν ὁ ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς ἀφήσει τὰ παραπτώματα ὑμῶν

(Ei de humeis ouk afiete oude ho pataʸr humōn ho en tois ouranois afaʸsei ta paraptōmata humōn)

See the discussion of textual issues at the end of the General Notes to this chapter to decide whether to include this verse in your translation. The notes below discuss translation issues in this verse, for those who decide to include it.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

οὐκ ἀφίετε

(ouk afiete)

Here Jesus implies that they might not forgive other people. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “do not forgive fellow humans” or “do not forgive people who have sinned against you”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ὁ πατὴρ ὑμῶν

(ho pataʸr humōn)

See how you translated the phrase your Father in the previous verse (11:25). Alternate translation: “your spiritual Father” or “God, who is like a Father to you,”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὁ ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς

(ho en tois ouranois)

See how you translated the phrase in the heavens in the previous verse (11:25). Alternate translation: “who is in the heavens”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τὰ παραπτώματα ὑμῶν

(ta paraptōmata humōn)

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of trespasses, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “you when you trespass”
