========================
Luke 17:1-4
========================
1Jesus said to his disciples:
“Things that cause people to stumble are bound to come, but woe to anyone
through whom they come.
2It would be better for them
to be thrown into the sea with a millstone tied around their neck than to cause
one of these little ones to stumble.
3So watch yourselves. “If
your brother or sister sins against you, rebuke them; and if they repent,
forgive them.
4Even if they sin against you
seven times in a day and seven times come back to you saying ‘I repent,’ you
must forgive them.”
