Notice in that verse about 70X7 it says this;
Luke 17:4 "4 Even if he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times returns to say, ‘I repent,’ you must forgive him.” In this verse it is clear that the person must come and ask forgiveness that many times to be forgiven that many times.
No place in the Bible does it say to forgive those who are not sorry.
Isaiah 26:10 "10 Though the wicked is shown favor, He does not learn righteousness; He deals unjustly in the land of uprightness, And does not perceive the majesty of the LORD. "
Forgiveness to an un-sorrowful man does not cause them to be sorry, it only further hardens their heart.
