Matthew 18:35

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

Matthew 25:15

25:15 To one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one, each according to his ability. Then he went on his journey.

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).

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.

tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated.

sn A talent was equal to 6000 denarii. See the note on this term in 18:24.
