Answer:

Simple

Step-by-step explanation:

He's saying that you can be forgiven for something you did but you can't take it back but forgiveness can lead to a stronger relationship.

Ex.

I steal some money from my father

He catches me

I apologize and never do it again

My father's trust is me is back and stronger because not only did I apologize but I never did it again.

He won't forget I did it, but he is certain I won't because I kept my word.
