Apologizing

Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man has great power to prevail.

So if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you,

…leave your gift there before the altar. First go and be reconciled to your brother; then come and offer your gift.

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

Knowing their thoughts, Jesus said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself will be laid waste, and every city or household divided against itself will not stand.

Beloved, let us love one another, because love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.

Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.

Pursue peace with everyone, as well as holiness, without which no one will see the Lord.

See to it that no one falls short of the grace of God, and that no root of bitterness springs up to cause trouble and defile many.

If your brother sins against you, go and confront him privately. If he listens to you, you have won your brother over. …
