And You shall hearken to the prayer of Your servant, and of Your people Israel, which they shall pray toward this place; and You shall hear in Your dwelling place in heaven, and You shall do and be gracious.

then shall You hear from heaven, and be gracious to the sins of Your people Israel, and You shall restore them to the land which You gave to their fathers.

then shall You hearken from heaven, out of Your established dwelling place, and shall be merciful, and shall do, and recompense to [every] man according to his ways, as You shall know his heart, for You alone know the heart of all the children of men;

and You shall be merciful to their unrighteousness in which they have trespassed against You, and according to all their transgressions that they have transgressed against You, and You shall cause them to be pitied before them that carried them captives, and they shall have compassion on them;

[A Psalm] of instruction by David. Blessed [are they] whose transgressions are forgiven, and who sins are covered.

For with You is forgiveness;

And come, let us reason together, says the Lord; and though your sins be as purple, I will make them white as snow; and though they be as scarlet, I will make [them] white as wool.

Hearken, O Lord; be propitious, O Lord; attend, O Lord; delay not, O my God, for Your own sake; for Your city and Your people are called by Your name.

Therefore let it be known to you, brothers, that through this Man forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you,

In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace

But if we are walking in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.

If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Then Peter came to Him and said, "Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?"

But since he had nothing with which to repay, his master commanded that he be sold, with his wife and children and everything that he had, and to be repaid.

"And having compassion, the master of that servant released him, and forgave him the loan.

And Jesus answered and said to him, "Simon, I have something to say to you." And he said, "Teacher, say it."

And turning to the woman, He said to Simon, "Do you see this woman? I entered into your house; you gave Me no water for My feet, but this [woman] has washed My feet with her tears and wiped them with the hair of her head.

You did not anoint My head with oil, but this [woman] has anointed My feet with perfume.

Then He said to her, "Your sins are forgiven."

And forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil [one]."

"For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.

But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

Then Peter came to Him and said, "Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?"

Jesus said to him, "I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy- seven [times].

But when that servant went out, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii. And taking hold of him, he was choking him, saying, 'Pay me what you owe!'

"But he was not willing, but going off, he cast him into prison till he should pay back what was owed.

Then summoning him, his master said to him, 'You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you begged me.

"And being angered, his master handed him over to the tormentors until he should pay all that was owed to him.

And they said, We will restore, and we will not exact of them; we will do thus as you say. Then I called the priests, and bound them by oath to do according to this word.

And I shook out my garment, and said, So may God shake out every man who shall not keep to this word, from his house, and from his labors, he shall be even thus shaken out, as an outcast and empty. And all the congregation said, Amen, and they praised the Lord; and the people did this thing.

"And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive, that your Father in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.

But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father who is in heaven forgive your trespasses."

"And judge not, and you shall not be judged. Condemn not, and you shall not be condemned. Forgive, and you shall be forgiven.

Take heed to yourselves. If your brother sins against you, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him.

And the apostles said to the Lord, "Increase our faith."

And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as also God in Christ forgave us.

forbearing one another and forgiving yourselves, if anyone should have a complaint against any; just as Christ forgave you, so you also [do].
