For with the SAME MEASURE that ye mete withal it shall be measured TO YOU again."

And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him. So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, IF YE from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses."

1 john 1:5-9 "This then is the message which we have HEARD OF HIM, and DECLARE UNTO YOU, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the TRUTH: But IF WE WALK IN THE LIGHT, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ HIS SON cleanseth us from all sin. IF we say that we have no sin, WE DECEIVE OURSELVES, and the TRUTH is not in us. IF WE CONFESS OUR SINS, he is faithful and just TO FORGIVE US OUR SINS, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. IF WE SAY THAT WE HAVE NOT SINNED, WE MAKE HIM A LIAR, and his word is not in us."
