pation, drunkenness and the anxieties of life, and that day
[the day of judgment], will close on you unexpectedly like a
trap. For it will come upon all those who live on the face of the
whole earth. Be always on the watch, and pray that you may
be able to escape all that is about to happen..." (Luke, 21:34-36)

he repents, forgive him. If he sins against you seven times in a
day, and seven times comes back to you and says, 'I repent,'
forgive him." (Luke, 17:3-4)
