If he repents, forgive him. If he sins against you seven times in the day, and seven times returns, saying, I repent, you shall forgive him.
Matthew 18:21-35 Then Peter came and said to him, Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Until seven times? Jesus said to him, I dont tell you until seven times, but, until seventy times seven.
