马太福音 6:14 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 6:14

For if ye forgive men their trespasses
Christ here refers to the petition in ( Matthew 6:12 ) which is enforced with this reason and argument, "as", or "for", so ( Luke 11:4 ) "we forgive our debtors"; which he repeats and explains: and the reason why he singles out this particularly is, because he knew the Jews were a people very subject to revenge; and were very hardly brought to forgive any injuries done them: wherefore Christ presses it upon them closely to "forgive men their trespasses"; all sorts of injuries done them, or offences given them, whether by word or deed; and that fully, freely, from the heart; forgetting, as well as forgiving; not upbraiding them with former offences; and even without asking pardon, and though there might be no appearance of repentance. Now to this he encourages by saying,

your heavenly Father will also forgive you;
will hear your prayers, and manifest his forgiving love to you: not that the forgiveness of others is the procuring cause of forgiveness with God, which is the blood of Christ; or of the manifestation and application of it, that is, the advocacy of Christ; nor the moving cause of it, that is, the free grace of God: but this enters into the character, and is descriptive of the persons, to whom God is pleased to make a comfortable discovery, and give a delightful sense of his pardoning grace; such persons, so disposed and assisted by his grace, may expect it of him.

马太福音 6:14 In-Context

12 免 我 们 的 债 , 如 同 我 们 免 了 人 的 债 。
13 不 叫 我 们 遇 见 试 探 ; 救 我 们 脱 离 凶 恶 ( 或 作 : 脱 离 恶 者 ) 。 因 为 国 度 、 权 柄 、 荣 耀 , 全 是 你 的 , 直 到 永 远 。 阿 们 ( 有 古 卷 没 有 因 为 … … 阿 们 等 字 ) !
14 你 们 饶 恕 人 的 过 犯 , 你 们 的 天 父 也 必 饶 恕 你 们 的 过 犯 ;
15 你 们 不 饶 恕 人 的 过 犯 , 你 们 的 天 父 也 必 不 饶 恕 你 们 的 过 犯 。
16 你 们 禁 食 的 时 候 , 不 可 像 那 假 冒 为 善 的 人 , 脸 上 带 着 愁 容 ; 因 为 他 们 把 脸 弄 得 难 看 , 故 意 叫 人 看 出 他 们 是 禁 食 。 我 实 在 告 诉 你 们 , 他 们 已 经 得 了 他 们 的 赏 赐 。
