Luke 6:37 - Do not judge, and you shall not be judged: do not condemn, and you shall not be condemned: forgive, and you shall be forgiven:

Luke 17:3 - Be on your guard: If your brother sins, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him.

Luke 17:4 - And if he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times a day comes to you, saying, I repent; you must forgive him.

Matthew 18:22 - Jesus said to him, I do not say to you, Up to seven times, but, Up to seventy times seven.

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

Mark 11:26 - [But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father who is in heaven forgive your trespasses.]

Matthew 5:23 - Therefore if you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you;

Matthew 5:24 - Leave your gift before the altar, and go your way; first be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.

Matthew 6:14 - For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:

Matthew 6:15 - But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

Matthew 5:25 - Come to terms with your adversary quickly, while you are on the way with him; lest your adversary deliver you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and you be cast into prison.

Matthew 5:26 - Truly I say to you, You shall by no means come out of there, until you have paid the last farthing.

Luke 12:58 - When you go with your adversary to the magistrate, as you are on the way, make every effort to settle with him, lest he drag you before the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and the officer cast you into prison.

Luke 12:59 - I tell you, you shall not get out of there, until you have paid the very last farthing.

Matthew 18:23 - Therefore, the kingdom of heaven is like a certain king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants.

Matthew 18:24 - And when he had begun the settlement, one was brought to him, who owed him ten thousand talents.

Matthew 18:25 - But because he had nothing with which to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.

Matthew 18:26 - Therefore the servant fell down, and implored him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay you all.

Matthew 18:27 - Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and released him, and forgave him the debt.

Matthew 18:28 - But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellow servants, who owed him a hundred denarii: and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me what you owe.

Matthew 18:29 - And his fellow servant fell down at his feet, and begged him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay you all.

Matthew 18:30 - He refused however, but went and cast him into prison, until he should pay the debt.

Matthew 18:31 - So when his fellow servants saw what had happened, they were very sorry, and came and told their lord all that had happened.

Matthew 18:32 - Then his lord, after he had called him, said to him, You wicked servant, I forgave you all that debt, because you begged me:

Matthew 18:33 - Should you not also have had compassion on your fellow servant, even as I had pity on you?

Matthew 18:34 - And his lord was angry, and delivered him to the torturers, until he should pay all that was due him.

Matthew 18:35 - So shall my heavenly Father also do to each one of you, if you do not forgive your brother from your heart.

Luke 7:40 - And Jesus answered him, Simon, I have something to say to you. And he said, Say it, Teacher.

Luke 7:41 - There was a certain creditor who had two debtors: the one owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.

Luke 7:42 - And when they were unable to repay, he freely forgave them both. Now, which of them will love him most?

Luke 7:43 - Simon answered, I suppose the one whom he forgave the most. And he said to him, You have judged correctly.

Luke 7:44 - And he turned to the woman, and said to Simon, Do you see this woman? I entered your house: you gave me no water for my feet, but she has washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with her hair.

Luke 7:45 - You gave me no kiss: but since I came in this woman has not ceased to kiss my feet.

Luke 7:46 - You did not anoint my head with oil: but this woman has anointed my feet with perfume.

Luke 7:47 - Therefore I say to you, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but he who is forgiven little, loves little.
