Forgiving One Another

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.”

Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, clothe yourselves with hearts of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience.

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

But to those of you who will listen, I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,

Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother who sins against me? Up to seven times?”

Jesus answered, “I tell you, not just seven times, but seventy-seven times!

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

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

Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding;
