Verse from Matthew

“如果你们饶恕别人的过犯,你们的天父也必饶恕你们。如果你们不饶恕别人,你们的父也必不饶恕你们的过犯。”
马太福音 6:14-15

“For if you forgive others for their transgressions, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others, then your Father will not forgive your transgressions.”
Matthew 6:14-15

As we forgive others, the basis of that forgiveness is the incredible debt that God has already forgiven us (Matthew 18). But at the same time, as God sees that His forgiveness is kept in circulation and passed on to others by us, He joyously pours out more forgiveness on us. As hard as it is to forgive someone when we have been genuinely harmed, Jesus wants us to know that the blessings of doing so far outweigh the costs!
