Matthew 18:22
Until seventy times seven. That is, there should be no limit at
which it shall be refused if it is asked in the spirit of sincere
penitence. By reference to Luke 17:4, one can see the condition of
forgiveness. It is that the offender professes "repentance". We are to
forgive men their trespasses on the same condition that God forgives us
ours, and he does not forgive the impenitent. Our mercy must be just as
unlimited as that of God.
