06.10 Evening:

As Christ forgave you, so also do ye.

There was a certain Creditor which had two debtors: the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty. And when they had nothing to pay, He frankly forgave them both.―I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst Me: shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee?

When ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in Heaven may forgive you your trespasses. But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in Heaven forgive your trespasses.―Put on . . . as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any.

How oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.

Charity, . . . is the bond of perfectness.

Col 3:13 Lu 7:41,42 Mt 18:32,33 Mr 11:25,26 Col 3:12,13 Mt 18:21,22 Col 3:14

06.10 Evening:

(Colossians 3:13)Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.

(Luke 7:41,42)There was a certain Creditor which had two debtors: the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty. And when they had nothing to pay, He frankly forgave them both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love Him most?--(Matthew 18:32,33)Then his Lord, after that He had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst Me: Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee?

(Mark 11:25,26)And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in Heaven may forgive you your trespasses. But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in Heaven forgive your trespasses.--(Colossians 3:12,13)Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.

(Matthew 18:21,22)Then came Peter to Him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.

(Colossians 3:14)And above all these things put on Charity, which is the bond of perfectness.

Col 3:13 Lu 7:41,42 Mt 18:32,33 Mr 11:25,26 Col 3:12,13 Mt 18:21,22 Col 3:14
