Forgiveness: two types. (1) Heart forgiveness — releasing desire for vengeance/punishment — should be given to everyone unconditionally. (2) Relational restoration — actually restoring the relationship — reserved for those who repent, especially in cases of serious offenses. Parallels how God forgives: the cross pays for all sin, but it's not received until one comes with repentance.

Heart forgiveness (internal release of bitterness) = unconditional, for everyone. Relational restoration = conditional on repentance, especially for severe offenses. God models this: the cross objectively pays for all sin (heart of forgiveness), but individuals must repent to receive it (relational restoration). This resolves the tension between "forgive everyone" and "if your brother repents, forgive him."
