Matthew 6:14-15 (The Message)

Colossians 3:13 (The Message)
3:13 Be even-tempered, content with second place, quick to forgive an offense. Forgive as quickly and completely as the Master forgave you.
C. Your FATHER will also forgive your own shortcomings to Him.
"in order that your Father Who is in heaven may also forgive you your [own] failings and shortcomings and let them drop."

4:32 Be gentle with one another, sensitive. Forgive one another as quickly and thoroughly as God in Christ forgave you.
