Luke 17:2-4
New Matthew Bible
2 It would be better for him that a millstone were hung about his neck and that he were cast into the sea, than that he should hurt one of these little ones.
3 Take heed to yourselves. If your brother trespasses against you, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him. 4 And even if he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turns again to you saying, I am sorry – forgive him.
