Matthew 6:16 in Context — Matthew 6
14 Si vous pardonnez aux hommes leurs offenses, votre Père céleste vous pardonnera aussi;
15 mais si vous ne pardonnez pas aux hommes, votre Père ne vous pardonnera pas non plus vos offenses.
16 Lorsque vous jeûnez, ne prenez pas un air triste, comme les hypocrites, qui se rendent le visage tout défait, pour montrer aux hommes qu’ils jeûnent. Je vous le dis en vérité, ils reçoivent leur récompense.
17 Mais quand tu jeûnes, parfume ta tête et lave ton visage,
18 afin de ne pas montrer aux hommes que tu jeûnes, mais à ton Père qui est là dans le lieu secret; et ton Père, qui voit dans le secret, te le rendra.
