Luke 17:2-4
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
2 It would be better for him if a mill’s stone were lying-around his neck and he had been[a] thrown-off into the sea, than that he should cause one of these[b] little ones to fall. 3 Take heed to yourselves— If your brother sins, rebuke him. And if he repents, forgive him. 4 And if he sins against you seven times in the day, and returns to you seven times saying ‘I repent’, forgive him”.
