Jesus answered, “I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.
If Cain is avenged seven times, then Lamech seventy-seven times.”
Let the wicked forsake their ways and the unrighteous their thoughts. Let them turn to the Lord, and he will have mercy on them, and to our God, for he will freely pardon.
You will again have compassion on us; you will tread our sins underfoot and hurl all our iniquities into the depths of the sea.
“Therefore, the kingdom of heaven is like a king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants.
And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.”
Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
“In your anger do not sin”: Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry,
Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice.
Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.
Therefore I want the men everywhere to pray, lifting up holy hands without anger or disputing.
