1 And He spoke to His disciples, It is impossible for offenses not to come: but woe unto him, through whom they come; 2 it is good for him if a millstone is hung around his neck, and he is cast into the sea, rather than that he may offend one of these little ones. 3 Take heed to yourselves. If thy brother may sin, rebuke him; if he may repent, forgive him. 4 But if he may sin against thee seven times a day, and seven times turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him. 5 And the apostles said to the Lord, Increase our faith. 6 And the Lord said, If you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you should say to this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up, and planted in the sea; and it would obey you. 7 But which one of you, having a servant plowing or serving a shepherd, who will say to him, having come in from the field, Coming hither sit down immediately? 8 But will he not say to him, Prepare what I may sup, and girding thyself, minister unto me, until I may eat and drink; and after these things you eat and drink? Luke 17:1-8, Godbey New Testament. Public domain.
