那時,彼得進前來,對耶穌說:

 「主啊,我弟兄得罪我,我當饒恕他幾次呢?到七次可以嗎?」

 耶穌說:「我對你說,不是到七次,乃是到七十個七次。」

 Then Peter came to Jesus and asked,

 "Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother when he sins against me?

  Up to seven times?"

 Jesus answered, "I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times."

 (馬太福音18:21-22

 

倘若這人與那人有嫌隙,總要彼此包容,彼此饒恕;

 主怎樣饒恕了你們,你們也要怎樣饒恕人。

 Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances

 you may have against one another.

 Forgive as the Lord forgave you.

 (歌羅西書3:13
