Revelation 22
Revelation 22: 11-13:
8 "But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.”

“11 Let the one who does wrong continue to do wrong; let the vile person continue to be vile; let the one who does right continue to do right; and let the holy person continue to be holy. 12 Look, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to each person according to what they have done. 13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.”
Revelation 21: 6-8 says:“
6 He said to me: “It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I will give water without cost from the spring of the water of life. 7 Those who are victorious will inherit all this, and I will be their God and they will be my children."
8 "But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.”

Wait. Shouldn't 'those who walk in unforgiveness' be in this list? But...Jesus walks in unforgiveness toward the unrepentant.
This scripture is proof of that.
Now some might say, "We know what Jesus said, we don't have to bring this scripture every time we talk about forgiveness.
We don't have to be reminded every time we discuss forgiveness."
Okay, then answer me this, why isn't the "...if he repents..." clause always in the minds of people when talking about forgiveness?
This seems important to me.
