Matthew 5:23
Therefore if you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you.
God is quite serious with this command in Scriptures. The scene is of a person, presumably a committed believer, who comes to offer gifts to God at the altar. However, God's command is that this act of worship does not count much if there is still unforgiveness. The command is to simply stop before reaching the altar, when we remember that someone has something against us. Instead go and be reconcile with that person first, then return to the altar of God.
