One verse that really stood out to me was in Luke 17:1‚ “If your brother or sister sins against you‚ rebuke them; and if they repent‚ forgive them. Even if they sin against you seven times in a day and seven times come back to you saying‚ ‘I repent’ you must forgive them.” This passage refers to loving unconditionally regardless of the bad that has happened.
