Forgiving People

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.”

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

…and do not give the devil a foothold.

Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult, but with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing.

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

For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.

But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive yours.

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