Matteus 18,33

Mercy and compassionForgiving others

31 Da de andre tjenerne så hva som hadde skjedd, ble de opprørte og gikk og informerte herren om alt som hadde skjedd.

32 Da kalte herren tjeneren inn. 'Du onde tjener,' sa han, 'jeg etterga all din gjeld fordi du ba meg.

Burde ikke du ha vist barmhjertighet mot din medtjener, slik jeg viste mot deg?'

34 I sin vrede overlot herren ham til fangevokterne for å bli torturert til han kunne betale alt han skyldte.

35 «På samme måte vil min himmelske Far behandle hver av dere hvis dere ikke tilgir deres bror eller søster av hjertet.»
