2 Forgive your neighbor a wrong,and then, when you pray,your sins will be forgiven.
3 Can people hold on to their angeragainst others, and then look for healing from the Lord?
4 Can they refuse to have mercyon people like themselves,and then pray about their own sins?
5 If they, who are just flesh,hold on to anger,who will secure pardonfor their own sins?
6 Be mindful of the end that awaits you,and put an end to enmity;be mindful of decay and death,and be faithful to the commandments.
7 Be mindful of the commandments,and don’t be irate at your neighbor;be mindful of the covenant of theMost High, and overlook a mistake.
8 Keep away from conflict,and you will reduce your sins;for hot-tempered people spark conflict.
