“Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.”
Bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive — 'Bearing with one another' (anechō allelōn, endure each other) is patience in relationships. 'Complaint' (momphē, blame) triggers forgiveness. 'As the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive' (aphieō hōs kai ho kyrios ephiesato hymin) models forgiveness on Christ's: unconditional, total. Christological pattern grounds interpersonal grace.
