“At this, his fellow slave fell down and began begging him, ‘Be patient with me, and I will pay you back.’
“At this, the slave fell facedown before him and said, ‘Be patient with me, and I will pay you everything! ’
“But that slave went out and found one of his fellow slaves who owed him 100 denarii. He grabbed him, started choking him, and said, ‘Pay what you owe! ’
But he wasn’t willing. On the contrary, he went and threw him into prison until he could pay what was owed.
Shouldn’t you also have had mercy on your fellow slave, as I had mercy on you? ’
And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.
You learned this from Epaphras, our dearly loved fellow slave. He is a faithful servant of the Messiah on your behalf,
Tychicus, our dearly loved brother, faithful servant, and fellow slave in the Lord, will tell you all the news about me.
