Forgiving a Friend

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

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

Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, outcry and slander, along with every form of malice.

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.”

“Be angry, yet do not sin.” Do not let the sun set upon your anger,

…and do not give the devil a foothold.

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