Vinnie,

Matt 18:23-35
23 "For this reason the kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who
wished to settle accounts with his slaves.

24 "When he had begun to settle them, one who owed him ten thousand
talents was brought to him.

25 "But since he did not have the means to repay, his lord commanded him
to be sold, along with his wife and children and all that he had, and
repayment to be made.

26 "So the slave fell to the ground and prostrated himself before him,
saying, "Have patience with me and I will repay you everything.'

27 "And the lord of that slave felt compassion and released him and
forgave him the debt.

28 "But that slave went out and found one of his fellow slaves who owed
him a hundred denarii; and he seized him and began to choke him, saying,
"Pay back what you owe.'

29 "So his fellow slave fell to the ground and began to plead with him,
saying, "Have patience with me and I will repay you.'

30 "But he was unwilling and went and threw him in prison until he should
pay back what was owed.

31 "So when his fellow slaves saw what had happened, they were deeply
grieved and came and reported to their lord all that had happened.

32 "Then summoning him, his lord said to him, "You wicked slave, I forgave
you all that debt because you pleaded with me.

33 "Should you not also have had mercy on your fellow slave, in the same
way that I had mercy on you?'

34 "And his lord, moved with anger, handed him over to the torturers until
he should repay all that was owed him.

35 "My heavenly Father will also do the same to you, if each of you does
not forgive his brother from your heart."
