“And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.”
— Matt. 6:12
“This makes us wonder if we really do want to pray that our debts be forgiven as we have forgiven our debtors. In truth we find it easier to forgive than to be forgiven. We do so because so much of life is spent trying to avoid acknowledging we owe anyone anything.”
— Stanley Hauerwas, Commentary on Matthew.
