A church father on this verse
“Our brother becomes our debtor when our neighbor is shown to have committed some sin against us. For we call sins debts. Thus the sinful servant is told, "I have forgiven you your whole debt." And each day in the Lord's Prayer we pray, "Forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors." We receive a pledge from our debt…”
