The Parable of the Unforgiving Servant

21 Then Peter came up and said to him, “Lord, how often will my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? As many as useven times?” 22 Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you seven times, but vseventy-seven times.1

3 Pay attention to yourselves! zIf your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him,


2 Corinthians 2:7

7 so lyou should rather turn to forgive and comfort him, or he may be overwhelmed by excessive sorrow.


James 5:19–20

19 My brothers, pif anyone among you wanders from the truth and someone brings him back, 20 let him know that whoever brings back a sinner from his wandering will save his soul from death and will qcover a multitude of sins.
