Augustine of Hippo, on Heb 12:14

“Follow peace with all men, and holiness: without which no man shall see God.”

“Many careful precepts have been given us, such as those concerning mutual forgiveness and the encouraging of that peace which is the very condition of our seeing God. One has only to recall the fearsome command given to the servant to pay the debt of ten thousand talents, from which he had been released, because he had not released his fellow servant from the debt that he owed of one hundred pence. When the Lord had proposed this parable, he added the words, "So also my heavenly Father will do to every one of you, if you do not forgive your brother from your heart."”
