Matthew 5:25, 26 Reconcile quickly with your adversary, while you are still on the way to court. Otherwise, he may hand you over to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and you may be thrown into prison. / Truly I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny.
Matthew 18:23, 25 Because of this, the kingdom of heaven is like a king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants. / Since the man was unable to pay, the master ordered that he be sold to pay his debt, along with his wife and children and everything he owned.
Luke 7:41, 47 “Two men were debtors to a certain moneylender. One owed him five hundred denarii, and the other fifty. / Therefore I tell you, because her many sins have been forgiven, she has loved much. But he who has been forgiven little loves little.”
