²² Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you seven times, but seventy-seven times.

^13 (A)bearing with one another and, ^(B)if one has a complaint against another, ^(C)forgiving each other; ^(D)as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive.

²⁵ And whenever ^(A)you stand praying, ^(B)forgive, ^(C)if you have anything against anyone, so that ^(D)your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.”^[a]

^14 (A)For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, ^15 (B)but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

^31 (A)Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. ^32 (B)Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, ^(C)forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.

Walk in Love

5 ^(D)Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children.
