Matthew 18:35
18:35 So also my heavenly Father will do to you, if each of you does not forgive your
brother
from your heart.”
Leviticus 6:2-7
6:2 “When a person sins and commits a trespass
against the
Lord by deceiving his fellow citizen
in regard to something held in trust, or a pledge, or something stolen, or by extorting something from his fellow citizen,
6:3 or has found something lost and denies it and swears falsely
concerning any one of the things that someone might do to sin
–
6:4 when it happens that he sins and he is found guilty,
then he must return whatever he had stolen, or whatever he had extorted, or the thing that he had held in trust,
or the lost thing that he had found,
6:5 or anything about which he swears falsely.
He must restore it in full
and add one fifth to it; he must give it to its owner when he is found guilty.
6:6 Then he must bring his guilt offering to the
Lord, a flawless ram from the flock, convertible into silver shekels,
for a guilt offering to the priest.
6:7 So the priest will make atonement
on his behalf before the
Lord and he will be forgiven
for whatever he has done to become guilty.”
Luke 17:3-4
17:3 Watch
yourselves! If
your brother
sins, rebuke him. If
he repents, forgive him.
17:4 Even if he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times returns to you saying, ‘I repent,’ you must forgive
him.”
Luke 17:1
