Bible verses about "offenses" | Haweis

¹ BE ye therefore imitators of God, as beloved children; ² and walk in love as Christ also hath loved us, and given himself for us, an oblation and sacrifice to God, for an odour of a sweet smell.

³⁹ but I say unto you, Resist not an injurious act; but whosoever shall smite thee on the right cheek, turn to him also the other. ⁴⁰ And if a man will prosecute thee, and take thy coat, let him have thy cloak also. ⁴¹ And whosoever shall press thee for one mile, go with him two. ⁴² Give to him that asketh thee; and from him who wants to borrow of thee, turn not away.

²⁸ bless those who curse you, and pray for those who wantonly insult you. ²⁹ To him that smiteth thee on the cheek, offer the other also; and from him who would take from thee thy cloak, withhold not thy coat also. ³⁰ And give to every one that asketh thee; and from him who would take thy goods, demand them not again. ³¹ And as ye would that men should do unto you, do ye also to them in like manner. ³² And if ye love them that love you, what thanks are due to you? for even sinners love those who love them. ³³ And if ye do good to them who do good to you, what thanks have ye? do not even sinners the same thing? ³⁴ And if ye lend to those, from whom ye hope to receive back again, what thanks are due to you? for sinners lend to sinners, that they may receive an equivalent. ³⁵ But love your enemies, and do good and lend, hoping for nothing in return: and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Most High; for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the wicked. ³⁶ Be ye therefore compassionate, as also your Father is compassionate.

²¹ Then Peter coming to him, said, Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? ²² Jesus saith to him, I tell thee not until seven times, but unto seventy times seven. ²³ Therefore is the kingdom of heaven like unto a certain king who purposed to settle his account with his servants. ²⁴ And when he began to make up the account, there was brought to him one debtor, ten thousand talents in arrear: ²⁵ but not having wherewithal to pay, his lord ordered him to be sold, and his wife and his children, and all things whatsoever he possessed, and payment to be made. ²⁶ Then that servant falling prostrate, paid him the most profound homage, saying, Lord, have forbearance with me, and I will pay thee all. ²⁷ Then his lord, moved with compassion towards that servant, discharged him, and forgave him the debt. ²⁸ But that servant going out, found one of his fellow-servants, who owed him a hundred denarii, and seizing, throttled him, saying, Pay me what thou owest. ²⁹ Then his fellow-servant fell at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have forbearance with me, and I will pay thee all. ³⁰ And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay what he owed. ³¹ Then his fellow-servants, when they saw what was done, were exceedingly sorry, and came to their lord, and gave him an explicit account of all things that had passed. ³² Then his lord, calling him before him, said to him, Thou vile slave! all that debt I forgave thee, because thou besoughtest me: ³³ and oughtest thou not to have had compassion on thy fellow-servant, even as I had pity on thee? ³⁴ And his lord, incensed, delivered him up to the torturers, till he should pay all that he owed him. ³⁵ Even so also will my heavenly Father do to you, except ye forgive every one of you his brother, from your hearts, their trespasses.

¹⁵ Now if thy brother sin against thee, go and reprove him between thyself and him alone; if he hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother. ¹⁶ But if he will not hear thee, take with thee one or two more, that by the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be confirmed. ¹⁷ But if he disregard them, inform the church: and if he disregard the church, let him be to thee as a heathen, or a publican.

³ Take heed to yourselves: if thy brother sin against thee, reprove him; and if he repent, forgive him. ⁴ And if seven times in the day he sin against thee, and seven times in the day return to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.

³⁰ And give to every one that asketh thee; and from him who would take thy goods, demand them not again.
