Matthew 18:27-35
27 The servant's master took pity on him, canceled the debt
and let him go.
28 “But when that servant went out, he found one of his
fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii. He grabbed him and began to
choke him. ‘Pay back what you owe me!’ he demanded.
29 “His fellow servant fell to his knees and begged him, ‘Be
patient with me, and I will pay you back.’
30 “But he refused. Instead, he went off and had the man
thrown into prison until he could pay the debt.
31 When the other servants saw what had happened, they were
greatly distressed and went and told their master everything that had happened.
32 “Then the master called the servant in. ‘You wicked
servant,’ he said, ‘I canceled all that debt of yours because you begged me to.
33 Shouldn’t you have had mercy on your fellow servant just
as I had on you?’
34 In anger his master turned him over to the jailers to be
tortured, until he should pay back all he owed.
35 “This is how my heavenly Father will treat each of you
unless you forgive your brother from your heart.”
Hebrews 5:2
He is able to deal gently with those who are ignorant and are
going astray, since he himself is subject to weakness.
1 Peter 3:8
Finally, all of you, live in harmony with one another; be
sympathetic, love as brothers, be compassionate and humble.
1 John 3:17
If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in
need but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him?
