Pr 10:12 Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins.
Pr 17:9 He that covereth a transgression seeketh love; but he that repeateth a matter separateth very friends
Mt 18:21 Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?
Mr 11:25 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. |
With a friendly reminder, however, that “...if you are presenting a sacrifice at the altar in the Temple and you suddenly remember that someone has something against you, leave your sacrifice there at the altar. Go and be reconciled to that person. Then come and offer your sacrifice to God." (
Matthew 5)
