Is anybody familiar with greater explanation than this?
The way I think of it is like this: person A wrongs person B. Person B holds a grudge and refuses to get over it. Person A eventually repents but person B still can't forgive. Person B has the greater sin. I don't think it means Person B has the greater sin if Person A never repents, as that doesn't make any sense to me at all. Nevertheless, person B still has to forgive. But that's just my way of looking at it.
