Matthew 18:21-35
Then Peter came up and said to him, "Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? As many as seven times?" Jesus said to him, "I do not say to you seven times, but seventy times seven. "Therefore the kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who wished to settle accounts with his servants. When he began the reckoning, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents; and as he could not pay, his lord ordered him to be sold, with his wife and children and all that he had, and payment to be made. So the servant fell on his knees, imploring him, `Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay you everything.' And out of pity for him the lord of that servant released him and forgave him the debt. But that same servant, as he went out, came upon one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii; and seizing him by the throat he said, `Pay what you owe.' So his fellow servant fell down and besought him, `Have patience with me, and I will pay you.' He refused and went and put him in prison till he should pay the debt. When his fellow servants saw what had taken place, they were greatly distressed, and they went and reported to their lord all that had taken place. Then his lord summoned him and said to him, `You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you besought me; and should not you have had mercy on your fellow servant, as I had mercy on you?' And in anger his lord delivered him to the jailers, till he should pay all his debt. So also my heavenly Father will do to every one of you, if you do not forgive your brother from your heart."

An pagtratar na sobra pa sa kinahang’lan nan tawo an tinood kuno na bo’ot-ipasabot nan kalooy, amo na sa sobra na kalooy ni God sa tawo, tagbuhis nan Ija Anak na si Jesus Christ an Ija kinabuhi para lamang kita masalbar sa ato pagpakasaya.
Kinahanglan dawaton gajud nan tawo na pinaka-hataas na gasa dija na kalooy ni God an kada gutlo nan ija kinabuhi.
Sa labing-tinood, dili unta angajan an tawo na makadawat nan uno man na kalooy ni God kay makasasaya na man ini sa sugod pa nan kalibutan sa panhon nila Adam sanan Eve, pero inhatag ni Lord an Ija waya’y katapusan na kalooy kay lagi, waya ma’y katapusan an Ija kalooy.
Sa parte nan tawo, kay anak man sija nan Diyos nan Kalooy, kinahanglan ipasa gajud nija an kalooy ni God na ija nadawat na ihatag nadto sa ija isigka’tawo.
Amo na tinood an tag’laong ni Matthew sa ija Ebanghelyo na bulahan an tawo na magpakita permi nan ija kalooy kay dili ‘sab ihikaw ni God an Ija kalooy dinhi.

"Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury let me sow pardon. Where there is doubt let me sow faith. Where there is despair let me give hope. Where there is darkness let me give light. Where there is sadness let me give joy."
