"Be merciful, as your Father is merciful" (Lk 6:36)

"You pay tithes of mint and dill and cummin, and have neglected the weightier things of the law: judgment and mercy and fidelity." (Mtt 23:23)

 “Then the master called the servant in. ‘You wicked servant,’ he said, ‘I canceled all that debt of yours because you begged me to. Shouldn’t you have had mercy on your fellow servant just as I had on you?’  (Mtt 18:32)

" If your brother sins, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him.

"And if he wrongs you seven times in one day and returns to you seven times saying, 'I am sorry,' you should forgive him." (Luke 17:3-4)
