Matthew 18:29
Forgiving others does not mean that we can compromise on consequences. Forgiveness has to do with avoiding things such as bitterness, anger, and grudges. If a consequence can be avoided, that’s great, but that is not always up to us. For example, you may be in a situation where a person has done something against you, and the person you both work for. You can forgive, and may be lenient on the consequences, especially for a first offence. But, your boss may choose to come down very hard on the situation. This is out of your control, but you can, for your part, forgive.
