Leviticus 19:

17 " 'Do not hate your brother in your heart. Rebuke your neighbor frankly
so you will not share in his guilt.

18 " 'Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against one of your people, but
love your neighbor as yourself. I am the LORD.

Matthew 18:

21Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, "Lord, how many times shall I
forgive my brother when he sins against me? Up to seven times?"

22Jesus answered, "I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.[f]

23"Therefore, the kingdom of heaven is like a king who wanted to settle


accounts with his servants. 24As he began the settlement, a man who owed
him ten thousand talents[g] was brought to him. 25Since he was not able to
pay, the master ordered that he and his wife and his children and all that he
had be sold to repay the debt.

26"The servant fell on his knees before him. 'Be patient with me,' he
begged, 'and I will pay back everything.' 27The 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.[h] 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. 31When 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. 33Shouldn't you
have had mercy on your fellow servant just as I had on you?' 34In 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."

Romans 13:

9The commandments, "Do not commit adultery," "Do not murder," "Do not
steal," "Do not covet,"[a] and whatever other commandment there may be,
are summed up in this one rule: "Love your neighbor as yourself."
