Forgive

Matthew 6:9-15  Pray then like this: “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name.  (10)  Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.  (11)  Give us this day our daily bread,  (12)  and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.  (13)  And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.  (14)  For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you,  (15)  but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

Matthew 18:21-35  Then Peter came up and said to him, “Lord, how often will my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? As many as seven times?”  (22)  Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you seven times, but seventy-seven times.  (23)  “Therefore the kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who wished to settle accounts with his servants.  (24)  When he began to settle, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents.  (25)  And since he could not pay, his master ordered him to be sold, with his wife and children and all that he had, and payment to be made.  (26)  So the servant fell on his knees, imploring him, ‘Have patience with me, and I will pay you everything.’  (27)  And out of pity for him, the master of that servant released him and forgave him the debt.  (28)  But when that same servant went out, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii, and seizing him, he began to choke him, saying, ‘Pay what you owe.’  (29)  So his fellow servant fell down and pleaded with him, ‘Have patience with me, and I will pay you.’  (30)  He refused and went and put him in prison until he should pay the debt.  (31)  When his fellow servants saw what had taken place, they were greatly distressed, and they went and reported to their master all that had taken place.  (32)  Then his master summoned him and said to him, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you pleaded with me.  (33)  And should not you have had mercy on your fellow servant, as I had mercy on you?’  (34)  And in anger his master delivered him to the jailers, until he should pay all his debt.  (35)  So also my heavenly Father will do to every one of you, if you do not forgive your brother from your heart.

Mark 11:25  And whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.

Luke 6:37-38  Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven;  (38)  give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you.

Luke 11:2-4  And he said to them, When you pray, say: “Father, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come.  (3)  Give us each day our daily bread,  (4)  and forgive us our sins, for we ourselves forgive everyone who is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation.

Luke 17:3-4  Pay attention to yourselves! If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him,  (4)  and if he sins against you seven times in the day, and turns to you seven times, saying, ‘I repent,’ you must forgive him.
