forgiving one another

³²And be kind and merciful to one another, forgiving one another, just as God has forgiven you in Christ.

³Be attentive to yourselves. If your brother has sinned against you, correct him. And if he has repented, forgive him. ⁴And if he has sinned against you seven times a day, and seven times a day has turned back to you, saying, ‘I am sorry,’ then forgive him.”

³⁷Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.

¹³Support one another, and, if anyone has a complaint against another, forgive one another. For just as the Lord has forgiven you, so also must you do.

²¹Then Peter, drawing near to him, said: “Lord, how many times shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Even seven times?” ²²Jesus said to him: “I do not say to you, even seven times, but even seventy times seven times. ²³Therefore, the kingdom of heaven is compared to a man who was king, who wanted to take account of his servants. ²⁴And when he had begun taking account, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents. ²⁵But since he did not have any way to repay it, his lord ordered him to be sold, with his wife and children, and all that he had, in order to repay it. ²⁶But that servant, falling prostrate, begged him, saying, ‘Have patience with me, and I will repay it all to you.’

²⁵And when you stand to pray, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, so that your Father, who is in heaven, may also forgive you your sins.

¹²Therefore, clothe yourselves like the elect of God: holy and beloved, with hearts of mercy, kindness, humility, modesty, and patience. ¹³Support one another, and, if anyone has a complaint against another, forgive one another. For just as the Lord has forgiven you, so also must you do.

²⁷But I say to you who are listening: Love your enemies. Do good to those who hate you.

²¹Then Peter, drawing near to him, said: “Lord, how many times shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Even seven times?” ²²Jesus said to him: “I do not say to you, even seven times, but even seventy times seven times.

²⁶“Be angry, but do not be willing to sin.” Do not let the sun set over your anger.

⁹If we confess our sins, then he is faithful and just, so as to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all iniquity.

¹⁴For if you will forgive men their sins, your heavenly Father also will forgive you your offenses.

¹If I were to speak in the language of men, or of Angels, yet not have charity, I would be like a clanging bell or a crashing cymbal. ²And if I have prophecy, and learn every mystery, and obtain all knowledge, and possess all faith, so that I could move mountains, yet not have charity, then I am nothing. ³And if I distribute all my goods in order to feed the poor, and if I hand over my body to be burned, yet not have charity, it offers me nothing. ⁴Charity is patient, is kind. Charity does not envy, does not act wrongly, is not inflated. ⁵Charity is not ambitious, does not seek for itself, is not provoked to anger, devises no evil. ⁶Charity does not rejoice over iniquity, but rejoices in truth.

⁵Have confidence in the Lord with all your heart, and do not depend upon your own prudence.

¹A mild response shatters anger. But a harsh word stirs up fury.

³¹Let all bitterness and anger and indignation and outcry and blasphemy be taken away from you, along with all malice.

²¹If your enemy is hungry, feed him. If he is thirsty, give him water to drink. ²²For you will gather hot coals upon his head, and the Lord will repay you.
