Mark 11:25
New International Version
25 And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.”(A)
Luke 11:4
New International Version
Luke 18:10-14
New International Version
10 “Two men went up to the temple to pray,(A) one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. 11 The Pharisee stood by himself(B) and prayed: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other people—robbers, evildoers, adulterers—or even like this tax collector. 12 I fast(C) twice a week and give a tenth(D) of all I get.’
13 “But the tax collector stood at a distance. He would not even look up to heaven, but beat his breast(E) and said, ‘God, have mercy on me, a sinner.’(F)
14 “I tell you that this man, rather than the other, went home justified before God. For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”(G)
Ephesians 4:32
New International Version
32 Be kind and compassionate to one another,(A) forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.(B)
Colossians 3:13
New International Version
13 Bear with each other(A) and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.(B)
James 2:12-26
New International Version
12 Speak and act as those who are going to be judged(A) by the law that gives freedom,(B) 13 because judgment without mercy will be shown to anyone who has not been merciful.(C) Mercy triumphs over judgment.
Faith and Deeds
14 What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds?(D) Can such faith save them? 15 Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food.(E) 16 If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it?(F) 17 In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.(G)
18 But someone will say, “You have faith; I have deeds.”
Show me your faith without deeds,(H) and I will show you my faith(I) by my deeds.(J) 19 You believe that there is one God.(K) Good! Even the demons believe that(L)—and shudder.
20 You foolish person, do you want evidence that faith without deeds is useless[a]?(M) 21 Was not our father Abraham considered righteous for what he did when he offered his son Isaac on the altar?(N) 22 You see that his faith and his actions were working together,(O) and his faith was made complete by what he did.(P) 23 And the scripture was fulfilled that says, “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness,”[b](Q) and he was called God’s friend.(R) 24 You see that a person is considered righteous by what they do and not by faith alone.
25 In the same way, was not even Rahab the prostitute considered righteous for what she did when she gave lodging to the spies and sent them off in a different direction?(S) 26 As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead.(T)
