Forgiveness

In 2 Cor. 2, "Grief" is used as a word describing a deed done to another. The grief should be forgiven if it is done unto you.



"To whom ye forgive any thing, I forgive also: for if I forgave any thing, to whom I forgave it, for your sakes forgave I it in the  person of Christ; Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices."
Matthew 6:14-15 says: For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
We all are in need of forgiveness, and if we forgive others what they have done against us, then we can be forgiven as well. If we follow the golden rule on this one, we will be greatly rewarded.
D&C 64:9-10 Says: Wherefore, I say unto you, that ye ought to forgive one another; for he that forgiveth not his brother his trespasses standeth condemned before the Lord; for there remaineth in him the greater sin. I, the Lord, will forgive whom I will forgive, but of you it is required to forgive all men.
If we don't forgive our peers, friends, neighbors, loved ones, and our enemies, we will be condemned. We will not be forgiven of our trespasses, and we will be accused of a greater sin than that which we chose not to forgive. 
We should forgive others. It is really hard, but we should try with all of our might that we may be forgiven of our sins at the last day.
