Forgiving

Be kind and tenderhearted to one another, forgiving each other just as in Christ God forgave you.

Watch yourselves. If your brother sins, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him.

Even if he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times returns to say, ‘I repent,’ you must forgive him.”

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

And when you stand to pray, if you hold anything against another, forgive it, so that your Father in heaven will forgive your trespasses as well.”

A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.

A man’s insight gives him patience, and his virtue is to overlook an offense.

Bear with one another and forgive any complaint you may have against someone else. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.

If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
