Luke 11:4
(from the model prayer) "And forgive us our sins, For we ourselves also forgive everyone who is indebted to us. And lead us not into to temptation." A huge part of sin and the havoc it reaps on our lives is bitterness toward someone else. Bitterness puts you in bondage. We would do well to forgive as we have been forgiven.
