We are told to forgive each other (brothers and sisters in Christ) as Christ did for us. This is important in that we shouldn't base our forgiveness on whether the brother deserves it or not. We should just simply do it of our own selves, no matter the state of our brother. For Christ forgave us while we were still sinners.
Eph 4:2 "[Living as becomes you] with complete lowliness of mind (humility) and meekness (unselfishness, gentleness, mildness) with patience, bearing with one another and making allowances because you love one another."
Col 3:13 "Be gentle and forbearing with one another and if one has a difference (a grievence or complaint) against another, readily pardoning each other; even as the Lord has [freely] forgiven you, so must you also [forgive]."
