“Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little.”
Therefore, I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven — as you can see, she has loved much. But whoever has been forgiven little loves little — the conclusion: her many sins have been forgiven — as you can see from the love she is showing (the logic is: the love is the evidence of the forgiveness, not the cause). Whoever has been forgiven little loves little: the parable applied to Simon — not the accusation that Simon is not forgiven but the observation that his small love indicates he does not understand the magnitude of what he has received.
