Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.

Colossians 3:13

Forgive your complaints against others. This is a little different than “forgive our debts” from the Lord’s prayer. It’s about social conflicts. One ought to forgive our problems with other people because God… released us from obligation? No, because God overlooked an offense. He let it go and demonstrated what it meant to be the bigger person. Forgive, because the Lord forgave your offensive actions.
