²¹ Then Peter having come near to him, said, `Sir, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him -- till seven times?'

²² Jesus saith to him, `I do not say to thee till seven times, but till seventy times seven.

²³ `Because of this was the reign of the heavens likened to a man, a king, who did will to take reckoning with his servants,

³⁵ so also my heavenly Father will do to you, if ye may not forgive each one his brother from your hearts their trespasses.'

¹¹ and she said, `No one, Sir;' and Jesus said to her, `Neither do I pass sentence on thee; be going on, and no more sin.'

¹³ And rend your heart, and not your garments, And turn back unto Jehovah your God, For gracious and merciful `is' He, Slow to anger, and abundant in kindness, And He hath repented concerning the evil.

¹⁴ `For, if ye may forgive men their trespasses He also will forgive you -- your Father who `is' in the heavens;

¹⁵ but if ye may not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

¹⁶ `And when ye may fast, be ye not as the hypocrites, of sour countenances, for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear to men fasting; verily I say to you, that they have their reward.

³⁷ `And judge not, and ye may not be judged; condemn not, and ye may not be condemned; release, and ye shall be released.

⁵ My sin I cause Thee to know, And mine iniquity I have not covered. I have said, `I confess concerning My transgressions to Jehovah,' And Thou -- Thou hast taken away, The iniquity of my sin. Selah.

¹⁹ reform ye, therefore, and turn back, for your sins being blotted out, that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord,

³⁸ `Let it therefore be known to you, men, brethren, that through this one to you is the forgiveness of sins declared,

³⁹ and from all things from which ye were not able in the law of Moses to be declared righteous, in this one every one who is believing is declared righteous;

⁴⁰ see, therefore, it may not come upon you that hath been spoken in the prophets:

²⁵ With the kind Thou showest Thyself kind, With a perfect man showest Thyself perfect.

²⁵ `And whenever ye may stand praying, forgive, if ye have anything against any one, that your Father also who is in the heavens may forgive you your trespasses;

¹³ forbearing one another, and forgiving each other, if any one with any one may have a quarrel, as also the Christ did forgive you -- so also ye;

⁷ in whom we have the redemption through his blood, the remission of the trespasses, according to the riches of His grace,

⁵ For Thou, Lord, `art' good and forgiving. And abundant in kindness to all calling Thee.

³¹ and in Thine abundant mercies Thou hast not made them a consumption, nor hast forsaken them; for a God, gracious and merciful, `art' Thou.

²⁵ `And whenever ye may stand praying, forgive, if ye have anything against any one, that your Father also who is in the heavens may forgive you your trespasses;

²⁶ and, if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father who is in the heavens forgive your trespasses.'

²⁷ And they come again to Jerusalem, and in the temple, as he is walking, there come unto him the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders,

³ Let not kindness and truth forsake thee, Bind them on thy neck, Write them on the tablet of thy heart,

⁴ And find grace and good understanding In the eyes of God and man.

⁵ Trust unto Jehovah with all thy heart, And unto thine own understanding lean not.

²⁵ I -- I `am' He who is blotting out Thy transgressions for Mine own sake, And thy sins I do not remember.

¹⁴ is any infirm among you? let him call for the elders of the assembly, and let them pray over him, having anointed him with oil, in the name of the Lord,

¹⁵ and the prayer of the faith shall save the distressed one, and the Lord shall raise him up, and if sins he may have committed, they shall be forgiven to him.

¹⁶ Be confessing to one another the trespasses, and be praying for one another, that ye may be healed; very strong is a working supplication of a righteous man;

¹² `And forgive us our debts, as also we forgive our debtors.

¹⁵ looking diligently over lest any one be failing of the grace of God, lest any root of bitterness springing up may give trouble, and through this many may be defiled;

¹³ who did rescue us out of the authority of the darkness, and did translate `us' into the reign of the Son of His love,

¹⁴ in whom we have the redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of the sins,

¹⁵ who is the image of the invisible God, first-born of all creation,

³⁴ And Jesus said, `Father, forgive them, for they have not known what they do;' and parting his garments they cast a lot.

¹² because I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their lawlessnesses I will remember no more;' --

³ `Take heed to yourselves, and, if thy brother may sin in regard to thee, rebuke him, and if he may reform, forgive him,

⁴ and if seven times in the day he may sin against thee, and seven times in the day may turn back to thee, saying, I reform; thou shalt forgive him.'

⁵ And the apostles said to the Lord, `Add to us faith;'

³⁰ the times, indeed, therefore, of the ignorance God having overlooked, doth now command all men everywhere to reform,

³² and become one to another kind, tender-hearted, forgiving one another, according as also God in Christ did forgive you.

¹⁴ `For, if ye may forgive men their trespasses He also will forgive you -- your Father who `is' in the heavens;

⁹ Whoso is covering transgression is seeking love, And whoso is repeating a matter Is separating a familiar friend.

¹³ Whoso is covering his transgressions prospereth not, And he who is confessing and forsaking hath mercy.

⁷ Forsake doth the wicked his way, And the man of iniquity his thoughts, And he returneth to Jehovah, and He pitieth him, And unto our God for He multiplieth to pardon.

³⁸ and Peter said unto them, `Reform, and be baptized each of you on the name of Jesus Christ, to remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit,

¹⁸ Who `is' a God like Thee? taking away iniquity, And passing by the transgression of the remnant of His inheritance, He hath not retained for ever His anger, Because He -- He delighteth `in' kindness.

⁵ And if any one hath caused sorrow, he hath not caused sorrow to me, but in part, that I may not burden you all;

⁶ sufficient to such a one is this punishment, that `is' by the more part,

⁷ so that, on the contrary, `it is' rather for you to forgive and to comfort, lest by over abundant sorrow such a one may be swallowed up;

⁸ wherefore, I call upon you to confirm love to him,

⁹ for, for this also did I write, that I might know the proof of you, whether in regard to all things ye are obedient.

² and he -- he is a propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the whole world,

⁹ if we may confess our sins, stedfast He is and righteous that He may forgive us the sins, and may cleanse us from every unrighteousness;

¹⁴ and My people on whom My name is called be humbled, and pray, and seek My face, and turn back from their evil ways, then I -- I hear from the heavens, and forgive their sin, and heal their land.

¹² As the distance of east from west He hath put far from us our transgressions.

⁷ `Happy the kind -- because they shall find kindness.
