"The grudge I hold is justified:
the wicked one has done me wrong!"
Say I unto the magistrate,
who says, "In jail you do belong.
Had you forgiven and not done
the grievous act against your foe,
today you'd live in liberty.
Instead, you're bound by hate you've sown."
Then the master sent for him. “You wicked servant,” he said, “I cancelled all that debt of yours when you appealed to me. Were you not bound, then, to have pity on your fellow servant just as I had pity on you?” And in his anger the master handed him over to the torturers till he should pay all his debt. And that is how my heavenly Father will deal with you unless you each forgive your brother from your heart.’ — Matthew 18: 32-35
