Luke 17:2-4
1599 Geneva Bible
2 It is better for him that a great millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were cast into the sea, then that he should offend one of these little ones.
3 ¶ [a]Take heed to yourselves: if thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him: and if he repent, forgive him.
4 (A)And though he sin against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, it repenteth me, thou shalt forgive him.
