In my mind, A, the first sinner, must repent. Assumption 1.

Given Assumption 1, what is being said, other than, if you don't forgive another, you have sin upon you.

Is it because, (a), the sinner has repented, and (b) the unforgiver now has sin, or (c) the sinner's sin comes upon the unforgiver, thereby giving unforgiver the sinner's sin plus his own?

Is there any other calculus here?
