holding a grudge

¹⁴For if you will forgive men their sins, your heavenly Father also will forgive you your offenses. ¹⁵But if you will not forgive men, neither will your Father forgive you your sins.

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

¹⁸Do not seek revenge, neither should you be mindful of the injury of your fellow citizens. You shall love your friend as yourself. I am the Lord.

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.”

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.

¹⁹You know this, my most beloved brothers. So let every man be quick to listen, but slow to speak and slow to anger. ²⁰For the anger of man does not accomplish the justice of God.

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. ¹⁴And above all these things have charity, which is the bond of perfection.

¹¹Brothers, do not choose to slander one another. Whoever slanders his brother, or whoever judges his brother, slanders the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law, but a judge. ¹²There is one lawgiver and one judge. He is able to destroy, and he is able to set free.

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

¹¹The doctrine of a man is known through patience. And his glory is to pass beyond iniquities.

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

³⁴I give you a new commandment: Love one another. Just as I have loved you, so also must you love one another. ³⁵By this, all shall recognize that you are my disciples: if you will have love for one another.”

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.
