Kim Phuc. About forgiveness

Kim Phuc (from Vietnam).
Her story, her pain, and how she could forgive and have peace:

 

^{" 21} Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother when he sins against me? Up to seven times?

    ²² Jesus answered, I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times."

(Matthew 18:21-22) New Testament. (Bible)

^{" 12} Forgive us our debts,
   as we also have forgiven our debtors.

(…)

¹⁴ For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you."

Jesus.

(Matthew 6:12,14)

^{“ 31} Do to others as you would have them do to you.

    ³² If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even 'sinners' love those who love them.

    ³³ And if you do good to those who are good to you, what credit is that to you? Even 'sinners' do that.

    ³⁴ And if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you? Even 'sinners' lend to 'sinners', expecting to be repaid in full.

    ³⁵ But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked.

    ³⁶ Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.

   

Judging Others

 ³⁷ Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.

    ³⁸ Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

    ³⁹ He also told them this parable: Can a blind man lead a blind man? Will they not both fall into a pit?

    ⁴⁰ A student is not above his teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like his teacher.

    ⁴¹ Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?

    ⁴² How can you say to your brother, 'Brother, let me take the speck out of your eye,' when you yourself fail to see the plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.”

Jesus Christ. 
(New Testament. Luke 6:31-42)

³¹ Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. ³² Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.

Ephesians 4:31-32

 ¹² Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. ¹³ Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. ¹⁴ And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.
 ¹⁵ Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.

Colossians 3:12-15

³ So watch yourselves.
   “If your brother or sister^[a] sins against you, rebuke them; and if they repent, forgive them. ⁴ 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.”

Luke 17:3-4


²⁵ “And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses. ²⁶ But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your trespasses.”

Mark 11:25-26

 ⁴ Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. ⁵ It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.

1 Corinthians 13:4-5

⁸ Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.

1 Peter 4:8

³³ And when they had come to the place called Calvary, there they crucified Him, and the criminals, one on the right hand and the other on the left. ³⁴ Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do.”
And they divided His garments and cast lots.

Luke 23:33-34

'Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.'

(Jeremiah 33:3) (around 600 years before Christ)
