I see a trade off in the sentence, BUT it is a trade off, if you want to call it that, with God, not with the person your are forgiving. It is like the story in Matthew of the man who forgave his servant, who then went out and berated his own debtor. If you want God to forgive you, you have to forgive others. That's who the deal is with.

But if we say to God "I want forgiveness of my debts from you, but I'll only forgive my debtors is they pay me back first," that's not the way it works.
