Luke 17:2-4
New Testament for Everyone
2 It would be better to have a millstone hung around your neck, and be thrown into the sea, than to trip up one of these little ones. 3 So watch out for yourselves.
“If your brother sins against you, rebuke him; and if he apologizes, forgive him. 4 Even if he sins against you seven times, and turns round seven times and says ‘sorry’ to you, you must forgive him.”
