¹⁸ Truly I say to you, ^(A)whatever you ^[a]bind on earth ^[b]shall have been bound in heaven; and whatever you ^[c]loose on earth ^[d]shall have been loosed in heaven.

^23 (A)If you forgive the sins of any, their sins ^[a]have been forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they have been retained.”
