²¹ Then Peter came and said to him, Lord, what number of times may my brother do wrong against me, and I give him forgiveness? till seven times?

²² Jesus says to him, I say not to you, Till seven times; but, Till seventy times seven.

²³ For this reason the kingdom of heaven is like a king, who went over his accounts with his servants.

³⁵ So will my Father in heaven do to you, if you do not everyone, from your hearts, give forgiveness to his brother.

¹¹ And she said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said, And I do not give a decision against you: go, and never do wrong again.]

¹³ Let your hearts be broken, and not your clothing, and come back to the Lord your God: for he is full of grace and pity, slow to be angry and great in mercy, ready to be turned from his purpose of punishment.

¹⁴ For if you let men have forgiveness for their sins, you will have forgiveness from your Father in heaven.

¹⁵ But if you do not let men have forgiveness for their sins, you will not have forgiveness from your Father for your sins.

¹⁶ And when you go without food, be not sad-faced as the false-hearted are. For they go about with changed looks, so that men may see that they are going without food. Truly I say to you, They have their reward.

³⁷ Be not judges of others, and you will not be judged: do not give punishment to others, and you will not get punishment yourselves: make others free, and you will be made free:

⁵ I made my wrongdoing clear to you, and did not keep back my sin. I said, I will put it all before the Lord; and you took away my wrongdoing and my sin. (Selah.)

¹⁹ So then, let your hearts be changed and be turned to God, so that your sins may be completely taken away, and times of blessing may come from the Lord;

³⁸ And so, let it be clear to you, my brothers, that through this man forgiveness of sins is offered to you:

³⁹ And through him everyone who has faith is made free from all those things, from which the law of Moses was not able to make you free.

⁴⁰ So take care that these words of the prophets do not come true for you;

²⁵ On him who has mercy you will have mercy; to the upright you will be upright;

²⁵ And whenever you make a prayer, let there be forgiveness in your hearts, if you have anything against anyone; so that you may have forgiveness for your sins from your Father who is in heaven.

¹³ Being gentle to one another and having forgiveness for one another, if anyone has done wrong to his brother, even as the Lord had forgiveness for you:

⁷ In whom we have salvation through his blood, the forgiveness of our sins, through the wealth of his grace,

⁵ You are good, O Lord, and full of forgiveness; your mercy is great to all who make their cry to you.

³¹ Even then, in your great mercy, you did not put an end to them completely, or give them up; for you are a God of grace and mercy.

²⁵ And whenever you make a prayer, let there be forgiveness in your hearts, if you have anything against anyone; so that you may have forgiveness for your sins from your Father who is in heaven.

²⁷ And they came again to Jerusalem: and while he was walking in the Temple, there came to him the chief priests and the scribes and those in authority:

³ Let not mercy and good faith go from you; let them be hanging round your neck, recorded on your heart;

⁴ So you will have grace and a good name in the eyes of God and men.

⁵ Put all your hope in God, not looking to your reason for support.

²⁵ I, even I, am he who takes away your sins; and I will no longer keep your evil doings in mind.

¹⁴ Is anyone among you ill? let him send for the rulers of the church; and let them say prayers over him, putting oil on him in the name of the Lord.

¹⁵ And by the prayer of faith the man who is ill will be made well, and he will be lifted up by the Lord, and for any sin which he has done he will have forgiveness.

¹⁶ So then, make a statement of your sins to one another, and say prayers for one another so that you may be made well. The prayer of a good man is full of power in its working.

¹² And make us free of our debts, as we have made those free who are in debt to us.

¹⁵ Looking with care to see that no man among you in his behaviour comes short of the grace of God; for fear that some bitter root may come up to be a trouble to you, and that some of you may be made unclean by it;

¹³ Who has made us free from the power of evil and given us a place in the kingdom of the Son of his love;

¹⁴ In whom we have our salvation, the forgiveness of sins:

¹⁵ Who is the image of the unseen God coming into existence before all living things;

³⁴ And Jesus said, Father, let them have forgiveness, for they have no knowledge of what they are doing. And they made division of his clothing among them by the decision of chance.

¹² And I will have mercy on their evil-doing, and I will not keep their sins in mind.

³ Give attention to yourselves: if your brother does wrong, say a sharp word to him; and if he has sorrow for his sin, let him have forgiveness.

⁴ And if he does you wrong seven times in a day, and seven times comes to you and says, I have regret for what I have done; let him have forgiveness.

⁵ And the twelve said to the Lord, Make our faith greater.

³⁰ Those times when men had no knowledge were overlooked by God; but now he gives orders to all men in every place to undergo a change of heart:

³² And be kind to one another, full of pity, having forgiveness for one another, even as God in Christ had forgiveness for you.

¹⁴ For if you let men have forgiveness for their sins, you will have forgiveness from your Father in heaven.

⁹ He who keeps a sin covered is looking for love; but he who keeps on talking of a thing makes division between friends.

¹³ He who keeps his sins secret will not do well; but one who is open about them, and gives them up, will get mercy.

⁷ Let the sinner give up his way, and the evil-doer his purpose: and let him come back to the Lord, and he will have mercy on him; and to our God, for there is full forgiveness with him.

³⁸ And Peter said, Let your hearts be changed, every one of you, and have baptism in the name of Jesus Christ, for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will have the Holy Spirit given to you.

¹⁸ Who is a God like you, offering forgiveness for evil-doing and overlooking the sins of the rest of his heritage? he does not keep his wrath for ever, because his delight is in mercy.

⁵ But if anyone has been a cause of sorrow, he has been so, not to me only, but in some measure to all of you (I say this that I may not be over-hard on you).

⁶ Let it be enough for such a man to have undergone the punishment which the church put on him;

⁷ So that now, on the other hand, it is right for him to have forgiveness and comfort from you, for fear that his sorrow may be over-great.

⁸ For which cause my desire is that you will make your love to him clear by your acts.

⁹ And for the same reason I sent you a letter so that I might be certain of your desire to do my orders in all things.

² He is the offering for our sins; and not for ours only, but for all the world.

⁹ If we say openly that we have done wrong, he is upright and true to his word, giving us forgiveness of sins and making us clean from all evil.

¹⁴ If my people, on whom my name is named, make themselves low and come to me in prayer, searching for me and turning from their evil ways; then I will give ear from heaven, overlooking their sin, and will give life again to their land.

¹² As far as the east is from the west, so far has he put our sins from us.

⁷ Happy are those who have mercy: for they will be given mercy.
